THE FIERY FURNACES ARE LIKE JAPAN.
This was written by Elena from the Orlando area, last December. It begins,
"just lakmgdakgm ohmygod, your music means so much to me. i was trying to tell eleanor how your music reminded me of japan but it came out a garbled mess since i was so excited. but i am going to try to be more articulate in describing it now: your music reminds of japan as yours has been described as “dense” before and japan is a very dense place but within the place, it’s still so wonderful. there’s ots of flashing lights and people walking reallyreally fast which is like how your music is when it gets all intense and “heavier.” but i also really love the slower moments in the songs where eleanor slows down to sing and it’s just like the quiet of the countrysides in japan. and japan is so delightfully kitschy and so ahead of our times and just so magical which is definitely your music! ohhhkay, that is probably not any better or whatever and i got excited seeing pictures of you guys in japan as japan is my favourite place and you are one of my favourite bands."
Thank you very much Elena. You are too kind.
i love you all..i tried to tell you in LA what spot in my heart is yours; that you are my beatles, but my foot fell in my mouth. thank you for the wonderful show.
Montreal has not been blessed with your presence in a very long time. Break the dry spell and pay us a much needed visit. I have a deep need to pray at the temple of the Fiery Furnaces. p.s. Love the music!

When I met by chance in 2004 by a magazine, I said, will listen, and when you hear the first album I love and then listen to all the other albums ... I adore them. but now with this new record but I stay in love with his songs and compositions ...
every year I hope his new album, the new letters that I learn them and new sounds that will make or invent ..
Thank you for being so amazing and sorry for horrible venue (Musicdrome) in Milano!!! I love your music, is one chaotic burst of creativity! See you next time, Bye
