the fiery furnaces' new album



it sounds like some silly avant-garde concept at first, but the fiery furnaces' plan for a silent album is fairly brilliant.

"Since bands can no longer sell audio, FF decline to provide it"

instead, they're basically going to present sheet music for fans and tribute bands to interpret, perform, and record. in this way, they're making their new album completely interpretive, interactive, and viral. ummm.... sounds damn smart to me.

i think it's going to be an interesting experiment. and at the end of the day, every indie band is gonna say, why didn't we think of that?

  1. it kinda sounds like the idea oasis had when they had street musicians play their new album in the streets of new york.
