...according to our Business Lady on 16 July 2009.

The Fiery Furnaces have been knocking out tunes for some time now but i've never encountered them until now. On first listen i can tell you that they craft pop music in a relaxed and non-offensive manner. You couldn't dislike 'The end is near' even if you wanted too!! It's got all the traits of great pop music; a simple arrangement, an infectious melody and great vocal hook. The rest of the e.p delivers more of the same, Fiery Furnaces are an indestructable song writing machine!!! Unstoppable!!! Out of control!!! They've stolen all the hooks and they've got all your riffs and there ain't nothing you can do about it. Accomplished and access able as hell, you'll love this e.p.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

‘The End Is Near’ is a limited edition 12” EP coming out just ahead
of The Fiery Furnaces brand new, eighth studio album ‘I’m Going Away’.

12” – THRILL1232
The End Is Near (Album Version)
Lost At Sea (Radio Edit)
Charmaine Champagne (Single Version)
Teddy’s On Kent
• Fans and critics alike have long been waiting for the
Friedbergers to make a ‘simple’ record, as it’s always
been clear they had a knack for the infectious melodies
and great arrangements that classic pop requires.
• The title track, a catchy, melancholic pop song, kicks off
the single instantly, giving tantalizing affirmation that the
new album, ‘I'm Going Away’, is set to be the most
exciting, accomplished and consequently accessible album
The Fiery Furnaces have ever made.
• A radio edit of ‘Lost At Sea’ and a slower version of
‘Charmaine Champagne’  (both album tracks in their
original forms) underline the masterful melodic work of the
album's new songs to breathtaking effect.
• ‘Teddy's on Kent’ is an otherwise unavailable new
recording.
• Limited edition 12” (1000 copies).
