The Fiery Furnaces @ Nice 'N' Sleazy, 10 Oct

The Fiery Furnaces are always good for a laugh, whether it's because they're punning about spiritually lost dogs or promising to release covers albums of their own albums, or claiming that "more than a millennium of sheet music" is "anticipatory plagiarism" for their next record, which will be completely silent. Which wacky way will they turn next!? While almost all of their albums do, at least a few times, stumble up some totally brilliant alleys, it's still probably Blueberry Boat that collects most of these moments in the same hour. New LP I'm Going Away is patchy, but definitely better than the next one's gonna be.
