One of singer/songwriter Ezra Furman’s first hits was “Take Off Your Sunglasses” — a raunchy Americana jam that announced the queer rocker’s arrival on the indie scene back in 2006. Since then, his style has evolved to encompass a raw energy that pulls on roots musicians like Woody Guthrie as much as it pushes toward an electronic future. His 2018 album, Transangelic Exodus, tells the myth-infused story of Furman running around the country with an angelic lover, sounding like a spaced-out Bruce Springsteen.

Praise For Transangelic Exodus

"He’s not content to simply reenact the work of titanic American songwriters like Woody Guthrie and Bruce Springsteen, though he uses plenty of the same tools—saxophone, harmonica, fiddle, nylon-stringed guitar, sing-along melodies, a healthy distrust of authority. It’s more like he’s digging up what those big names left behind in the dust." - Pitchfork

"There's something really amazing about his songwriting, about his passion, about his rawness" - Marc Maron 

"This iteration of Ezra Furman is his most compelling yet." - Billboard  

"“Transangelic Exodus,” is a radical revision of the American rock canon." - The New York Times

"It’s also the most liberating album in a career that stretches back a decade" - The Chicago Tribune

Furman recently published a 33 1/3 edition of Lou Reed's seminal solo work, Tranformer. The edition is a close look at the album that sparked Reed's commercial success and explores what the work reveals about this ambiguous cultural icon. Through close listening and personal reflections, Furman explores Reed's & Transformers unstable identities and the secrets the songs challenge us to uncover. It is a troubled mediation on ambiguous sexual musical and cultural identities - a theme Furman is constantly exploring in his own work.
