The Fiery Furnaces' 2004 album "Blueberry Boat" is a sprawling, ambitious double-LP that pushed the boundaries of psychedelic indie rock with its intricate song structures and unconventional narratives.
- "Blueberry Boat" was self-released by the band on their own label, The Fiery Furnaces Records.

- Despite its experimental nature, the album received critical acclaim for its originality and artistic vision.
The Fiery Furnaces are a band from Salem, Massachusetts, known for their experimental approach to indie rock and psychedelic music. Formed by siblings Eleanor and Matthew Friedberger, they emerged in the early 2000s with a distinctive sound that blended lo-fi aesthetics with complex arrangements. In 2004, with the release of "Blueberry Boat," they were solidifying their reputation as one of the most adventurous acts in the independent music scene, prior to their more accessible work on Rough Trade.
