The Fiery Furnaces are an American indie rock band, formed in 2000 in Brooklyn, New York.[1] The band's primary members are Matthew and Eleanor Friedberger. The siblings are originally from Oak Park, Illinois, a near-western suburb of Chicago. They are known for their ambitious, highly conceptual releases, which have frequently divided critical opinion.
In May 2011, the band entered a nine-year hiatus, with both Matthew and Eleanor pursuing solo careers.[2] In February 2020, it was announced that The Fiery Furnaces would reunite to play at the Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic the event was canceled.[3] It was later revealed that the band signed to Jack White's Third Man Records label.[4][5]
