Apart from Rihanna and Chris Brown, no musicians have been more in the headlines of late than The Fiery Furnaces. This remains the case today, but not for another misguided? jab at Thom Yorke’s crew.

As Pitchfork reports, Matthew and Eleanor Friedberger have unveiled their much anticipated covers album. You know, the covers album where the duo covers themselves?

Yep, Take Me Round Again, the 12-track effort that hears reinterpretations of the recently released I’m Going Away or, as the band explains, “Six songs by one with six by the other… And then another six by six… Only the words will remain the same… Though in Eleanor’s case, the singer remains the same,” is available right this very second via Thrill Jockey’s online store.

If you’re still a bit confused (as we certainly are), you can get a taste, in the form of Eleanor’s rework of “Keep Me in the Dark”, below.
