Matthew Friedberger Solos

Leave it to Matthew Friedberger of The Fiery Furnaces to find a weird new way to approach two time-honored concepts: the solo album and the box set. Solos is a set of six official albums plus two bonus records, on which Friedberger takes the "solo" concept literally; each album finds him performing on a single instrument exclusively (The first features piano, the second, guitar, etc...) The set will be made available as a limited-edition subscription series, with each installment being released about every two months. Okay, now where's his sister/fellow Furnace member Eleanor's box set?
