Fiery Furnaces Announce 'Blueberry Boat' Vinyl Reissue With 2003 Bonus Track, Out Oct. 10

A 2003 outtake that fed into Bitter Tea anchors the boutique pressing tied to a short fall run.

Overview

  • The reissue arrives October 10 via Everything Nice as a 500-copy, hand-numbered vinyl edition with new artwork, a gatefold tip-on jacket, and printed innersleeves.
  • The set adds the previously unreleased 2003 track Far Away, now streaming, recorded for a one-off November 2003 Mercury Lounge performance.
  • Matthew Friedberger wrote Far Away at Eleanor Friedberger’s request, and the song later evolved into Waiting to Know You on 2006’s Bitter Tea.
  • The duo will play five dates tied to the release: Oct. 10 Kingston O+ Festival; Oct. 25 Brooklyn’s National Sawdust; Nov. 6 London’s Pitchfork Festival at Barbican; Nov. 7 BrusselsBotanique; Nov. 8 Le Guess Who? in Utrecht.
  • The 2025 tracklist mirrors the original album with Far Away added as track 14 on the new pressing.
