The Fiery Furnaces - Blueberry Boat
I've had it for about 24 hours now, and damn if this album isn't infectuous. Definitely an indie rock masterpiece and serious contender for album of the year. Anyone else out there in DU land checking this one?

1. Absolutely
A great snarly folk-rock sound augmented with strange noises, sort of like if Michelle Shocked replaced John Flansburgh in They Might Be Giants (Shit. Now I've scared off half of DU. They're great, really).

I first took notice when the local indie station played "Single Again", a harrowing dirge about an abusive relationship that reminds me of Richard & Linda Thompson's material (it's currently only available as a CD single as an import from the UK. It's worth it).

2. Great album!
its alot to digest, quite a journey. it already has a timeless quality about it, though.

Also loving the new Rilo Kiley out this week.
