The Fiery Furnaces: Bitter Tea

The Fiery Furnaces - Bitter Tea

Review by John Brainlove

There's something impenetrable about it, an obtuse level of abstraction and a joyless delivery that really leaves this listener with no point of entry at times. Where a truly brilliant record can take you to a completely different place, after listening to Bitter Tea I'm left feeling more like I'm squinting into a snow globe. »
