The Fiery Furnaces - “I’m Going Away” - Borrow It

text: Carrie Johnston

Keeping in stride with their former albums, I’m Going Away is a playful and spastic collage of eclectic throwbacks and sporadic ragtime jingles. Littered with punk notes and surreal, jerky, sing-a-longs, this album is bit too emotionally guarded and at times plagued with annoyingly repetitive choruses (i.e. “Take Me Round Again"). 

Reminds us of: The Dirty Projectors | Mates of State | The Dresden Dolls

Chopin and Òlafur Arnalds aren’t even really worth a comparison. Their music is nothing alike.

There was definitely a guy surfing in a wheelchair. I tried to capture it with my camera, but it was a total blur. He came over the barricade 3 times. The first time, he came over AFTER his wheelchair.
