Conceived as a more youthful album of ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ lovelorn songs to go along with Choir's voice of ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ maturity, Bitter Tea is slightly less complicated ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ than its would-be companion album; in fact, it ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ features some of the band's catchiest songs since ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ EP. "I'm Waiting to Know You" turns a moony, ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ '50s-style ballad into slow-dance synth pop, ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ while "Police Sweater Blood Vow" is warm, ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ playful, and even a little sexy, and as ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ straightforward as any song with "Vibrate buzz ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ buzz ring and beep" as part of its chorus can be. ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ However, this is a Fiery Furnaces album, and lest ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ things get too poppy, some of Bitter Tea's best ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ songs are shot through with lengthy passages of ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ burbling synths. Both "Benton Harbor Blues," ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ which features gorgeous vocals, a Motown-inspired ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ bassline, and emotional but not overly ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ sentimental lyrics, and "Teach Me Sweetheart," ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ which could easily be a yearning power ballad ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ along the lines of Yeah Yeah Yeahs' "Maps" in the ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ hands of a more commercially minded band, both ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ feel like thwarted pop singles. ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ Of course, part of the Fiery Furnaces' appeal ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ from the beginning has been the way they screw ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ with what could be very simple, almost ditty-like ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ songs. However, on Bitter Tea the ways that they ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ mess with their music aren't always as intriguing ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ or memorable as what the songs could've been like ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ if they were eccentric yet concise in the way ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ that, say, Gallowsbird's Bark was. At times, the ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ album feels oddly diluted, neither as strikingly ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ experimental as Blueberry Boat or Rehearsing My ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ Choir, nor as brilliantly catchy as their debut. ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ And at 72 minutes, Bitter Tea is too long; the ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ stories that it tells just aren't big enough to ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ fill up all that space. Still this is a Fiery ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ Furnaces album, and even if all the songs aren't ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ uniformly great, there's something interesting ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ about each of them: "I'm in No Mood" sounds a ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ little like a fractured version of "Flight of the ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ Bumblebee" performed by a haywire player piano; ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ "Oh Sweet Woods" moves from a thumping dance beat ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ to flowing acoustic guitars, then nods to Michael ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ Jackson's "Billie Jean"; and, with its ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ Asian-inspired melody, "Bitter Tea" itself is one ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ of the more rambling, suite-like songs that ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ works. Bitter Tea does indeed work well as a ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ companion piece to Rehearsing My Choir, as well. ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ The refrain of "once upon a time" in "Nevers" ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ mirrors Choir's "Remember Then?," and "The ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ Vietnamese Telephone Ministry" is a spooky, ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ cryptic recitation of places and addresses along ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ the lines of "Seven Silver Curses." Meanwhile, ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ the backward vocals and instrumentation that make ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ up one of Bitter Tea's main motifs could convey ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ looking back on youth or rewinding time -- or ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ they could be there just because they sound ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ really trippy. Anyone who enjoyed having their ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ brains and ears rearranged by Blueberry Boat and ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ Rehearsing My Choir should find Bitter Tea ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ enjoyable, but at this point, it seems like the ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ most challenging thing the Fiery Furnaces could ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ do is trust their pop instincts a little more ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ often. ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ░ ▀▓████▀ ║ ║▄░████▓▀ ░ ▀ ░████▓▄║ ║░▓████░ ▀ ▀░████▓╟◄──────────────────────────────────────────────────►╢▓████░▀ ▄ ░░▓███╠════════════════════════════════════════════◄QUOTES►╢╣███▓░░ ▄ ▄ ░▄▄ ▀▀██████║ ║██████▀▀ ▄▄░ ▀░▓███████▄▄║ ║▄▄███████▓░▀ ▀░▓███████▄▄║ "Whoever controls the volume of money in any ║▄▄███████▓░▀ ▀░▓███████▄▄║ country is absolute master of all industry and ║▄▄███████▓░▀ ▀░▓███████▄▄║ commerce." ║▄▄███████▓░▀ ▀░▓███████▄▄║ ║▄▄███████▓░▀ ▀░▓███████▄▄║ -James A.

Conceived as a more youthful album of ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº lovelorn songs to go along with Choir's voice of ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº maturity, Bitter Tea is slightly less complicated ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº than its would-be companion album; in fact, it ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº features some of the band's catchiest songs since ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº EP. "I'm Waiting to Know You" turns a moony, ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº '50s-style ballad into slow-dance synth pop, ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº while "Police Sweater Blood Vow" is warm, ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº playful, and even a little sexy, and as ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº straightforward as any song with "Vibrate buzz ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº buzz ring and beep" as part of its chorus can be. ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº However, this is a Fiery Furnaces album, and lest ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº things get too poppy, some of Bitter Tea's best ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº songs are shot through with lengthy passages of ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº burbling synths. Both "Benton Harbor Blues," ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº which features gorgeous vocals, a Motown-inspired ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº bassline, and emotional but not overly ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº sentimental lyrics, and "Teach Me Sweetheart," ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº which could easily be a yearning power ballad ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº along the lines of Yeah Yeah Yeahs' "Maps" in the ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº hands of a more commercially minded band, both ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº feel like thwarted pop singles. ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº Of course, part of the Fiery Furnaces' appeal ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº from the beginning has been the way they screw ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº with what could be very simple, almost ditty-like ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº songs. However, on Bitter Tea the ways that they ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº mess with their music aren't always as intriguing ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº or memorable as what the songs could've been like ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº if they were eccentric yet concise in the way ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº that, say, Gallowsbird's Bark was. At times, the ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº album feels oddly diluted, neither as strikingly ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº experimental as Blueberry Boat or Rehearsing My ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº Choir, nor as brilliantly catchy as their debut. ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº And at 72 minutes, Bitter Tea is too long; the ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº stories that it tells just aren't big enough to ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº fill up all that space. Still this is a Fiery ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº Furnaces album, and even if all the songs aren't ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº uniformly great, there's something interesting ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº about each of them: "I'm in No Mood" sounds a ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº little like a fractured version of "Flight of the ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº Bumblebee" performed by a haywire player piano; ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº "Oh Sweet Woods" moves from a thumping dance beat ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº to flowing acoustic guitars, then nods to Michael ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº Jackson's "Billie Jean"; and, with its ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº Asian-inspired melody, "Bitter Tea" itself is one ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº of the more rambling, suite-like songs that ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº works. Bitter Tea does indeed work well as a ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº companion piece to Rehearsing My Choir, as well. ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº The refrain of "once upon a time" in "Nevers" ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº mirrors Choir's "Remember Then?," and "The ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº Vietnamese Telephone Ministry" is a spooky, ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº cryptic recitation of places and addresses along ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº the lines of "Seven Silver Curses."
