Brooklyn-based indie-rock duo The Fiery Furnaces have asked their fans
for inspiration towards making a new album. They haven't run out of
ideas -- they're a band famous for squeezing approximately three
hundred ideas into every song, and they're about to release their
seventh album in six years -- so it's doubtful they'll ever run out of
ideas. The new album, I'm Going Away, isn't due until June 21, but the
band have asked fans to look at the cover art and track titles and
creatively describe what they think the album is going to be like.
Then, these so-called 'deaf descriptions' will be "...remixed into a
'complete' fan-made, word-only, entirely-unrelated, alternate version
of I'm Going Away," which will also be released on June 21. If you want
to contribute towards writing the new Furnaces album, email your ideas
to thefieryfurnacesemail at gmail dot com. There's no word on whether
you'll receive a co-writing credit in the liner notes, but if your
ideas are good enough, perhaps you'll get a "thanks."
FYI, the cover is above (click on it to enlarge), and here's the track-listing:
- "I'm Going Away"
- "Drive to Dallas"
- "The End Is Near"
- "Charmaine Champagne"
- "Cut the Cake"
- "Even in the Rain"
- "Staring at the Steeple"
- "Ray Bouvier"
- "Keep Me in Dark"
- "Lost at Sea"
- "Cups and Punches"
- "Take Me Round Again"
Any ideas?

The public may not have known what the messages meant, but it helped pay for them. The skywriting stunt was supported by city and state public funding, according to the High Line's website. http://www.mts-converter.ru
"I wanted a narrative trajectory towards something optimistic at the end, which was the last message, 'Now Open,'" she said of the work. http://www.mts-converter.ru/mts-converter-for-mac.htm

hey now, I don't ask fiery furnaces to write my code, they shouldn't ask me to write or inspire their songs.
