Matthew Friedberger, the male half of the Fiery Furnaces, is continuing his series of solo vinyl albums with this fourth LP, entitled *Cut It Out*. Every two months, Matthew Friedberger delivers a new demonstration of his multi-instrumental talents, dedicating each of his efforts to a single instrument, accompanied by his voice. On *Napoleonette*, he performs on piano; on *Meet Me In Miramas*, on guitar; for *Old Regimes*, he chose the harp. On *Cut It Off*, it's the drums that are in the spotlight. Recorded in Paris and mastered by Joe Lambert in New York, *Cut It Off* is perplexing, inventive, offbeat, unbridled. And disproportionately rock'n'roll.
