EZRA FURMAN - Transangelic Exodus - LP €23.99, CD €12.99 (Bella Union) ‘Transangelic Exodus’ is a new landmark for the American singer songwriter Ezra Furman: “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 Furman himself. 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. Limited edition lavender coloured vinyl includes a download code. https://www.spindizzyrecords.com/product/ezra-furman-transgelic-exodus-lp-album-ltd-lav/
