The Fiery Furnaces, I'm Going Away [Thrill Jockey]

Brother and sister Matthew and Eleanor Friedberger are an indie-rock tornado, crafting challenging songs with jazz piano, piercing guitar, and Eleanor's poetry-fueled vocals. Where the results were heavier, almost Zeppelin-esque, on 2007's Windy City, this album is sunnier pop. But the effect is the same: contented exhaustion. Matthew Hendrickson
