Their critically acclaimed debut album. Their vivid musical imagination creates a satisfying sense of sonic adventure throughout the recording.
'Gallowsbird's Bark', the critically acclaimed debut album from The Fiery Furnaces, is now available locally!
Every so often, some musicians come along who remind us that the tag 'genius' does not only apply to those doing things no-one else has thought of before, but also in creating rich mixes of style and genre with new perspectives on this music.
The Fiery Furnaces would appear to be said musicians. Their eclectic range of influences really show on this, their debut album: from alt-country meanderings [think Smog], to the ever-present blues feel and deceptively simple arrangements [think Cat Power]. Their vivid musical imagination creates a satisfying sense of sonic adventure throughout the recording.
