Fiery Furnaces - Widow City
The sixth full-length release for sibling duo Matthew and Eleanor Friedberger, “Widow City” is more of a “rock” album than previous efforts, but it’s a rock album done in a way that only the Fiery Furnaces could. The electric guitar makes a prominent appearance, but only as it is interspersed with the Furnaces’ familiar vaudevillian piano and bizarre, abrupt tempo changes, so it still sounds like nothing anyone else would ever do. Even after six albums, the Fiery Furnaces continue to break new ground, creating their own unique brand of prog-pop. Listen to one of my favorite tracks, "Philadelphia Grand Jury," then grab a copy of the CD for $14.99.
