You've got the wrong Eleanor Friedberger
The RIAA: Abusing the Legal System Since 1987
If you don't know the Fiery Furnaces you should. Why? Because they rock. In the process of writing the review of their new record Bitter Tea, I came up with this name for the genre they belong in: Awesomecore. I mean, come on, what could possibly say more about a band than that? I would totally want my band to be in the Genre. But the Furnaces really do belong in a genre all their own, a kind of indie-rock paradise where they are lots of ponies and puffins (enough to get you through the end of may!) where the albums are multilayered and insane, there are blueberry boats and pirates and zombies, and even the sometimes incredible inaccessability of their music is forgiveable, because although the electronics can get in the way, the hooks come back, and they allow you to totally FREAK OUT!
