Matthew Friedberger de The Fiery Furnaces fera cet été une infidélité à sa soeur en sortant son premier album solo. Prévu pour début août, ce projet en gestation depuis trois ans est un double album et s’intitule Winter Women / Holy Ghost Language School. Signé sur 859 Recordings (nouvelle excroissance de Rough Trade), le premier CD serait de facture pop -toute proportion gardée- tandis que que le second serait plus expérimental.
