Matthew and Eleanor Friedberger join host David Garland to distill some of their songs to their essence in performances for just voice and piano. As The Fiery Furnaces, brother and sister Matthew and Eleanor make songs with many layers of narrative, intention, and purpose. Their recordings also feature layers of changeable sound from a large arsenal of keyboards including tack piano and analog synthesizers, along with guitars, drums, and Eleanor’s passionate delivery of plentiful, peculiar lyrics. They’ll perform and also present and talk about their recordings, with special emphasis on their latest album, “Widow City.”
