The Fiery Furnaces is the long-running collaboration between siblings Eleanor and Matthew Friedberger. Renowned for their dense, allusive lyrics, formally inventive compositions, and unpredictable live shows, the band occupies a singular space in the landscape of experimental pop. They will reconvene for a limited series of duo performances to revisit their 2004 album, Blueberry Boat - a cult touchstone of adventurous songwriting and raw, idiosyncratic energy. This reunion is less a nostalgic reprise than a continuation of the band's interrogation of song form, memory, and narrative - rendered now with renewed clarity and conceptual precision.
