It’s safe to say that “Bitter Tea” will not gain new Fiery Furnace fans. It is simply too unhinged and alarming for the casual listener, who would fare bet- ter with “EP” or “Gallowsbird’s Bark.” What the Friedbergers do with their latest, however, is establish themselves as refreshing and challenging artists – a duo as unpredictable as they are difficult to describe. Everything that sets them apart from other “alternative rockers” is on display in “Bitter Tea,” exuding a love-it-or-hate-it quality that is at least admirable, if not heroic. It isn’t that their listeners don’t know what’s com- ing next, rather, they want to. SPORTS | Wednesday, April 26, 2006 | Ka Leo O Hawai‘i | Page 3
