Widow City

by The Fiery Furnaces

Widow City cover art

Featuring the extensive use of the Chamberlain M-1 tape-replay keyboard, the eccentric sibling duo crafted an overwhelmingly dense, labyrinthine art-pop record. The album is a dizzying, hyper-complex barrage of progressive rock structures and sudden tempo shifts anchored by Eleanor Friedberger's rapid-fire vocal delivery.
