DESCRIPTION
Eleanor and Matthew Friedberger formed The Fiery Furnaces in New York City in 2000. Their debut album Gallowsbird's Bark (Rough Trade Records) was released to critical acclaim in 2003. In the following seven years, they released eight more albums and toured extensively throughout North America, Europe, Australia and Japan. The band's last performance was nearly a decade ago at the Primavera Sound Festival in Barcelona.
In the meantime Eleanor and Matthew have released eight solo albums, collectively. They are very pleased to return to the stage in their hometown Chicago, at Pitchfork Music Festival this July. Eleanor: Someone comes up to me at every show and asks: 'How's Matt? What's happening with The Fiery Furnaces?' And I say, 'He's fine' and 'Nothing at the moment.' I'm so happy to finally have some news: 'He's fine' and 'We're playing in July at the Pitchfork Festival.' We didn't break up; this isn't a reunion. We're just playing the next show. Matthew: For the last three and a quarter years I've been listening to Fiery Furnaces records every day. I think I finally get it.
