Bio
THE FIERY FURNACES ARE LIKE JAPAN. This was written by Elena from the Orlando area, the December before last. 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. -

Official music video created by Katarzyna Kijek & Przemysław Adamski with 1 km of yarn and four different flashlights and one lamp (Living Colors). Yarn was shaken and illuminated in different ways and shot in stop motion. No CG, only edit and some compositing of multi-exposured frames in few shots.

Hello The Fiery Furnaces, All my thoughts are lost to your graceful gaze? You turn the atmosphere ablaze with currents of sweet ethylene when you smile. In your presence even my shadow acquires the sensation of touch. As the bliss slowly rises in my incandescent eluxulator, your mere presence has a euphoric effect upon me. If I could have just one wish, it would be to wake up to your songs in the morning. The skin I shed is a perfume that makes water bubbles so terribly clear to me. The expanse of your beauty is a void no universe could ever fill. I love your eyes, I know they can stare through my thoughts. Your cleverness helps me breathe without the need of oxygen. You breath as delicately as vapors flowing towards an attractive flame. Cities crumble, skies ignite spontaneously in your presence. You are dressed with filaments and people take pains to make you fully incandescent this evening. Your layers of absinthe and torsion form concretions of hyper-alimentation. Your essence is equal to the beauty of a galaxy.
