Ezra Furman is a boundary-breaking artist whose fearless creativity and emotional honesty have made her one of the most compelling voices in modern music. Blending punk energy, heartfelt lyricism and genre-defying innovation, Furman’s work is both deeply personal and universally resonant. This year saw the release of her 10th album Goodbye Small Head.
“If I were a music journalist, I would call this an orchestral emo prog-rock record sprinkled with samples. Thank goodness I’m not a music journalist!” explains Ezra. “I think of this music as cinematic and intense. A friend of mine said it sounded like “the coolest movie soundtrack of 1997,” and I’m quite pleased with that description. We’ve incorporated a small string section into eight of the twelve tracks, and are using samples for the first time. Other than that, this record features something that’s become nearly an anachronism: a band that’s been playing real instruments together for over a decade, intuitively in touch with each other as musicians. Four players in a room together who know exactly how to respond to one another.”
Over the course of her illustrious career, she also recorded the soundtrack for the Netflix smash hit TV series Sex Education and authored Lou Reed: Transformer for the 33 ⅓ series. Ezra Furman’s music is a testament to the power of individuality and authenticity, marking her as a truly unique voice in modern music.
