The Fiery Furnaces are an inventive and often challenging art pop group from Brooklyn, New York. Originally from Oak Park, Illinois -- a suburb of Chicago -- they consist of the brother and sister team of Matthew Friedberger and Eleanor Friedberger, and are currently joined by Jason Loewenstein (Sebadoh), Bob D'Amico and Michael Goodman when playing live on tour.
The Fiery Furnaces signed with the Rough Trade Records music label in 2002, and recorded their debut album in the same year.

Synth solo (best played with a slide if you attempt it at all on guitar):
repeat 3 times E |-3-/12----8-3-/8-----5-3--|--108--8-/12108-/12108-/12108-/15-|- B |---------------------------o|-----------------------------------------|- G |----------------------------|-----------------------------------------|- D |----------------------------|-----------------------------------------|- A |---------------------------o|-----------------------------------------|- E |----------------------------|-----------------------------------------|-
For the outro guitar solo, just play the bass notes of the given chords: GF#EGF#ECAm
over the chords. The piano does most of the work in the outro and would be nigh-impossible to replicate on the guitar.
