The Fiery Furnaces - Widow City

The White Stripes’ Jack and Meg White once pretended to be brother and sister, until a wily reporter exposed the Detroit couple as formerly husband and wife. The Fiery Furnaces Matthew and Eleanor Friedberger really are a sibling act—and a wildly oddball one at that. The Chicago duo’s latest album features such weird numbers as the offbeat “Duplexes of the Dead” and “The Old Hag is Sleeping.” But there are also some moments of eccentric beauty, including the mellifluous “My Egyptian Grammar.”
