Fiery Furnaces Update

I've been meaning to post this for days. I don`t think I've let you down yet because it appears that 'Teaching The Indie Kids To Dance,' still has the sort-of-new Fiery Furnaces tracks he posted available for download. I have no idea how long he keeps songs up, so get them quick. Fluxblog had another track off the same album, but removed it almost immediately when he found out about TTIKTD's post.

The songs in question are off The Fiery Furnaces's new 10 song EP that comes out on January 11th. The EP is a mix of b-sides, rarities, and live tracks. There's no new songs there, but there is some stuff you may not have heard yet. More information on the EP and their next LP and Australian tour and grandma and what not can be found at TinyMixTapes and Pitchfork.

I'm listening to the entire EP as we speak, and I can tell you that if you are a fan of the Fiery Furnaces, you will like it. It's the perfect thing to hold you over until their next LP is released. You can preorder from Insound. Use coupon code 'fiery ep' to get 15% off your order.

In the above paragraph I used the word "if" before the phrase, "you are a fan of the Fiery Furnaces." If you are NOT a fan of the Fiery Furnaces, what is the reason? If it's because you havent't heard them yet, it's not too late... You'll want to get their first album, Gallowsbird Bark, and then the one that's been topping more than a few best of 2004 lists, Blueberry Boat. Both available at Insound. They are both great. Blueberry Boat is also more than great. Pitchfork said so. Not everyone agreed, but I do (note the foreshadowing of my own upcoming 'best of 2004' list).

jenyk's like what's up? I've been trying to tell you this for how long?

KEXP's got the in-Studio streaming hook-up.

Tropical Iceland is a song on the new EP. Watch the video here.
