The Fiery Furnaces

About this event

The Fiery Furnaces, the long-running collaboration between siblings Eleanor and Matthew Friedberger, reconvene for a number of performances as a pared-down duo. Renowned for their dense, allusive lyrics and formally inventive compositions, the band occupies a singular space in the landscape of experimental pop. No despisers of sentimentality, this reunion is however less a nostalgic reprise than a continuation of their interrogation of song form, song culture, storytelling, and memory. Last year the band reissued their seminal album 'Blueberry Boat' as a limited edition deluxe gatefold 2LP with bonus track 'Far Away'. They plan to continue reimagining, reworking, and adding to their repertoire, both live and as part of a new series of recordings called “Σκίτσα” (Sketches).
