New Fiery Furnaces Video - "Navy Nurse" (Stereogum Premiere)
When the Fiery Friedbergers gave us "Ex Guru" in video form, we found ourselves stranded in the forest with some shadowy ascetic types and mystical kitties. This time around, in the Moses Berkson-directed "Navy Nurse," Eleanor goes it solo, doing some sort of young woman and the sea thing, reading on a ferry, doing underwater ballet, playing solitaire, and hanging out on a rocky coast, only some birds (real, statuary) and passing strangers for company. Why so lonesome? Remember, this is Widow City.
Good to see at least a couple smiles in there, but one thing: There are all sorts of water vessels -- tankers, steamers, barges, speeders, sail -- but not a sign of a blueberry boat. At least Eleanor's bathing suit is the right color.
