Eclectic brother-sister duo The Fiery Furnaces aim to put out a total of 10 albums this year: one by the band, 8 solo records by Matthew Friedberger, and one by Eleanor, who announced today she's signed with Merge Records. The siblings are both highly intellectual and a bit whacky—that's a given. What we've seen with their solo output though is Matthew lean towards a more idiosyncratic and experiemental sound, while Eleanor, on the freshly leaked "My Mistakes," goes straight for the listener's pop jugular with a razor blade. Is that a saxophone solo at the end of "My Mistakes"? Yes, you better believe it. Eleanor's bringing the
sax back to rock & roll.
