Fiery Furnaces sans sis: Matthew Friedberger's Winter Women/Holy Ghost Language School

I'd say this project alone pretty definitively killed any mainstream-indie interest https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solos

Wow- never even heard about that "Solos" thing. I like those "Mr Fried Burger" tracks on Bandcamp. May have to pull the trigger and buy it.

i enjoyed parts of 'solos'

I did end up buying the Mr. Fried Burger album and found it pretty enjoyable, both the mini-operetta at the beginning, and the more rock-oriented tracks after.

yeah you and i are responsible for 1/3 of its rym ratings lol

preview track off the saqqara mastabas album is great btw :)

It's oooooouuuuttttttt

And it's only half an hour long! So I've just listened to it.

It's the oldest music in the world, you know. A charm of instrumentals from before anyone knew singing could exist
