I got a little bit obsessed with this album when it came out. Largely, because it was very much at odds with anything else that was released in 2004. It's good to see it getting some belated attention.

The Fiery Furnaces reissue a cult classic: ‘We knew we wouldn’t seem like an also-ran NYC band in leather jackets’

As the divisive duo re-release Blueberry Boat for its 20th anniversary, they talk being unfit for success, how indie got soft and the ‘dream come true’ of getting 1/10 in NME

Thank you, that's much appreciated! This also happens to be the first time I have been played on 6Music since 2003 (when Jayne Middlemiss played something by my old band, Kicker).
