    A magical record, one amazing songwriter. In a year that we had so much lack of melodies in the songwriting, Ed wrote and sung a bunch of amazing songs . Dark, crippy, in many occasions aggressive, denunciatory and desperate

    Harcourt holds nothing back, transcends theatrics and reaches the top. [No. 135, p.59]

    With Furnaces, Ed Harcourt has continued his impressive winning streak with both true artistry and singularly-focused aplomb.
