Bitter Tea

by The Fiery Furnaces

Bitter Tea cover art

The Friedberger siblings push their eccentric pop sensibilities to the extreme, heavily utilizing synthesizers and backwards vocal tracking. The record's labyrinthine song structures and surreal lyricism defy conventional accessibility. It remains a polarizing but fascinating artifact of 2000s avant-garde indie pop.
