MP3: Matthew Friedberger – “Meet Me in Miramas”

The Fiery Furnaces’ better half, Matthew Friedberger, is giving a free taste of his third album, part of a six-LP subscription series. “Meet me in Miramas” is good in the way that Spoon used to be, and arguably still is (I admit I just stopped paying attention to them, I got bored) – stripped down and simple, but catchy as fuck and worth repeat listens. And this song is better than 90 percent of the Fiery Furnaces catalogue. Listen here as Friedberger gets his Ned Flanders on (“ram-a-dam-dam-ding-dong”).
