Does anyone know - was this used in a TV show or movie? I feel like it was the soundtrack for a scene or something, but it could just be reminiscent of another...
@stillilllife I don't hear patti smith at all in this :P. I immediately thought of the pretenders tho. In terms of contemporary artists who have reminded me of patti smith, check EMA, california and compare that to anything on 'horses.' Still, the sound is pretty good.
I wasn't too taken with The Fiery Furnaces but I love this song.....I hope the album is as good?...she somehow reminds me of a lot of very good and overlooked 80's female singer/songwriters.....Brickell, Vega, Armatrading...the sax maybe pushes it toward that era too.
I'm a huge Fiery Furnaces fan so when I heard Eleanor Friedburger was coming out with a solo album my first reaction was...awesome, I've got to check this out. This is the first song off her solo record and..well my expectations that it would be great turned out to be correct, I love this!
I like the way the lyrics were moving forward as the song hopped back and forth from the same motifs. Interesting singer, first time encountering her music and I loved this track.
eleanor rocks !!! was fortunate enough to see the fiery furnaces. she signed all of my f.f. cds. also got to hang out and chat with her for about 15 minutes or so after the show. she was nothing but gracious, kind, engaging and of course very, very beautiful. chomping on the bit for this slice of audio goodness to come out.
killer sax...

Her voice sounds like a mix between Patti Smith and Sharleen Spiteri (of Texas) to me.
