This could be good. This could be bad. Maybe indifferent. I really don't know. If "Blueberry Boat" was one the greatest albums of the last decade, then the output from The Fiery Furnaces since that incredible release has been spotty to say the least. So, here is news of a new album that is due out on July 21 on Thrill Jockey. "I'm Going Away" contains 12 tracks, which I think is a good sign. More muscle, less fat. Let's hope so.
