The Fiery Furnaces with Just Milk

The legendary art pop band returns to SPACE for the first time since 2008, celebrating and revisiting their iconic 2004 release Blueberry Boat.

The Fiery Furnaces is the long-running collaboration between siblings Eleanor and Matthew Friedberger. Renowned for their dense, allusive lyrics, formally inventive compositions, and unpredictable live shows, the band occupies a singular space in the landscape of experimental pop.

They will reconvene for a limited series of duo performances to revisit their 2004 album, Blueberry Boat — a cult touchstone of adventurous songwriting and raw, idiosyncratic energy. This reunion is less a nostalgic reprise than a continuation of the band’s interrogation of song form, memory, and narrative—rendered now with renewed clarity and conceptual precision.

Just Milk is the electronic music project of Brooklyn-based interdisciplinary artist Tara Rook, weaving together ambient soundscapes, emotive electronics, and genre-blurring rhythms. Drawing from synth pop, trip-hop, dark disco, and house, her work moves fluidly between beat-driven releases and spacious, meditative compositions designed for deep listening.

Rooted in themes of heartache, healing, and emotional presence, Just Milk’s catalog spans ambient albums, house EPs, textured beats, and DJ mixes. Whether performing live with the SP-404SX or crafting thoughtfully curated DJ sets, Tara creates sonic environments that feel intimate, immersive, and human.

Alongside her evolving sound, she is committed to collaboration and gender equity within electronic music, continuously exploring new forms of expression while contributing to inclusive, connected dance and listening spaces.
