The Fiery Furnaces are back. On October 9 "Widow City" will be released on Thrill Jockey. After the strange and disappointing "Rehearsing My Choir" and the much better but still uneven "Bitter Tea" indications are that the brother and sister are returning to form. The form that produced "Blueberry Boat", a modern classic that was original and brilliant. Pitchfork have sourced the first song from "Widow City". "Duplexes of the Dead" sounds pretty good to me. See what you think.
