Albums Of The Year 2005, No.2: The Fiery Furnaces EP

Not a proper Ep but a 10 song collection of singles, b-sides and rarities. Includes the Awesome single ‘Tropical Ice Land’ as well as the electronic(y) ‘Single Again.’ When I got this album it blew me away, then I got Gallowsbirds bark which was a huge disappointment but Blueberry boat is even better than this and is one of the best records ever. A bit like a way more superior Flaming Lips but also not like anything else that I’ve ever heard. This collection is still brilliant and this proves that Eleanor Friedberger is more talented than her boyfriend Alex from Franz Ferdinand. Lovely stuff!!!
