New Fiery Furnaces Video - "Ex-Guru"

The bouncy-then-snake-sacrificing pop of "Ex-Guru," from the Fiery ones' latest LP Widow City, sees the Friedberger sibs frolicking in a sylvian setting. In describing the tune, FF said ""the loud guitar-drums-and-Chamberlin 'thunderstorm' part towards the end ... indicates the thunderstorm brought about by the jilted ex-guru," but all we get are odd faces carved into tree trunks, extreme eyeball closeups, and a tight shot of a cute pussy.

"Ex-Guru" in your pocket:

I heard David Byrne is covering this song for an upcoming Thrill Jockey release.

Widow City is great, definately in my top 5 for 2007.

"and a tight shot of a cute pussy"

Do you have any idee how weird that sounded?

Awesome song. Glad to see their years-long practical joke of doing everything within their power to consciously suck is finally over.

great song, but when will video directors learn: weird is not an idea.
