The _iery _urnaces - Gallowsbird's Bark, 2003

A Fiery Furnaces historian would distinguish the band's four eras:
1. up till 2003 - great
2. 2004 - _ucking brilliant
3. 2005 - good
4. 2006 onwards - crap.
Here's the prelude to the brilliance - the duo's debut LP. Definitely rawker than their later efforts. Can't go wrong with this one, really.

The _leet _oxes - self-released EP, 2006

So, before their big time came, they used to be "The" Fleet Foxes. Just like "Arnold Layne" by The Pink Floyd. Okay, this is a wonderful record. None of these songs appeared elsewhere. Much more electric than their 2008's stormers, yet very melodic and innocent - same as the LP or the "Sun Giant" EP. The production is superb - crystal clear. Enjoy.
