EZRA FURMAN SHARES NEW SINGLE ‘SUCK THE BLOOD FROM MY WOUND’
Transangelic Exodus out Friday, February 9 on Bella Union via [PIAS]
Ezra Furman has unveiled ‘Suck The Blood From My Wound‘, the third single from his upcoming album, Transangelic Exodus due Friday, February 9 on Bella Union via [PIAS].
LISTEN TO ‘SUCK THE BLOOD FROM MY WOUND’
Transangelic Exodus is a new landmark for the American singer-songwriter: “Not a concept record, but almost a novel, or a cluster of stories on a theme, a combination of fiction and a half-true memoir,” according to its author. “A personal companion for a paranoid road trip. A queer outlaw saga.”
The music is as much of an intense, dramatic event, full of brilliant hooks, with an equally evolved approach to recorded sound to match Furman’s narrative vision. In honour of this shift, his backing band has been newly christened: The Boy-Friends are dead, long live The Visions. In other words, the man who embodies the title of his last album Perpetual Motion People is still on the move… Or, in the vernacular of the new album, on the run.
“The narrative thread,” Furman declares, “is I’m in love with an angel, and a government is after us, and we have to leave home because angels are illegal, as is harbouring angels. The term ‘transangelic’ refers to the fact people become angels because they grow wings. The have an operation, and they’re transformed. And it causes panic because some people think it’s contagious, or it should just be outlawed.”
