THE NEXT TWO ALBUMS

The Fiery Furnaces have already mentioned, in previous interviews, sketchy details about their ideas for the next record or two.

In the April 2004 issue of Q magazine Matt mentioned that two more albums were already being worked on.

In a recent interview to Pitchfork Media, Eleanor and Matt mentioned some interesting and more concrete details about the next two Fiery Furnaces records.

Matt told Pitchfork 'We're going to have one with our grandmother and Eleanor singing duets about the hopes that Eleanor has as a young person, and then my grandmother will tell her the failures and cruel blows fate delivered. [...]
The other will be a rollicking record with long verses.'

No details about a possible release date are available yet, though it has been suggested that the first album might see the light of day sometime in early 2005 already.
