THE FIERY FURNACES - Widow City

DateTuesday, October 9, 2007 at 09:00AM

fiery%20furnaces-widow.jpgThe sheer amount of ideas in "The Philadelphia Grand Jury" alone, the opener from Widow City, would be enough to keep most bands healthy for an entire album. That this seven-minute epic is only the first of sixteen songs on The Fiery Furnaces' sixth release is a telling sign. Anyone hoping for this brother-sister duo to settle down and write tunes as focused and catchy as EP's "Tropical-Iceland" are outta luck. Melodies, hooks, riffs, segues, and left turns rush out of this disc like a busted fire hydrant; it's up to you to either run from the flood or roll up your pants and dance in the spray. Inspired insanity.

Another incredible album. What's unbelievable is how prolific they are, and how they still manage to push themselves and their music in such brilliant ways. I'm amazed every year.
