The Fiery Furnaces
With their half-spoken/half-sung vocals and bass-drowning chord changes, Brooklyn's The Fiery Furnaces defy anyone to find any of their songs conventionally catchy. Instead, the brother-sister band—which signed in 2007 with Chicago's Thrill Jockey Records—prefers experimentation; its 2005 release, Rehearsing My Choir, mixes music with tales told by Olga Sarantos, the duo's grandmother. Though Fiery Furnaces' first Jockey release, 2007's Widow City, headed in the direction of straight-up, '70s-inspired tunes, the new I'm Going Away continues their fondness for mood—the album features "theme songs to folk's own personal versions of Taxi." Huh?
