Ezra Furman

Event information

Ezra Furman has announced the title and release date of his forthcoming debut on Bella Union. Perpetual Motion People is the name of the 13-track effort due out July 10th. Already we’ve heard “Restless Year”, the opening track to the Day of the Dog follow-up, and now Furman has shared the second single, “Lousy Connection”.

Incidentally also the second song in the album’s sequencing, “Lousy Connection” again highlights the idiosyncratic Chicagoan-cum-San Franciscan’s era-dipping, genre-blending style. There’s a clear doo-wop drive in the “shoo-doo” background vocals and proud saxophone, but Furman’s crackling vocals and a string of pounded piano keys put it in a category all its own
