THE FIERY FURNACES Widow City (2007 UK 16-track CD album - Produced by Matthew Friedberger, this 6th studio album 'Widow City', is rooted in the Furnaces' aesthetic of challenging conventional notions of timing and song structure and is absolutely unlike any other LP in their expansive and brilliant repertoire; the songs were inspired in part by advertisements from women's magazines of the early 70's, an imagined Ouija board by which Matthew might ascertain what his sister wouldwant him to write about and the cultural pages of alternative lifestyle weekly papers, or not)
