The Fiery Furnaces

May, 9 2009

Brookyln-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."
