If It's Too Loud...

It always sounds like hyperbole when I say it, but there simply isn't a talent out there like Ezra Furman. It's nearly impossible to fit the Boston artist's new album into one, or even ten, genres. Goodbye Small Head is a collection of twelve songs that meander through different styles and sounds, all while still sounding like they belong together. That's probably why Furman gets labelled a singer-songwriter so much. No other description even comes close to her sound. Throughout the album, you get indie rock, folk, pop, electronic music, punk, and many more styles. Plus, there's something so unique about how Furman structures a song. Every song feels so immediate and vulnerable. Goodbye Small Head is one of the most intimate albums I've ever heard, which fits right in with Furman's style. This is a fantastic release by one of the best out there. Songs of note: "Grand Mal," "Jump Out," "Power of the Moon," and "Veil Song...

"Jump Out" starts off as an indie pop track heavy on strings. Over that are Furman's vocals, which are instantly engaging and desperate. Then the song slowly erupts into an indie rock epic. "Jump Out" turns into what could be my favorite lost song from the late 90's that I discovered during my college radio days and is now swarming in with lost memories. We've been huge fans of Furman's for years now, and this might be my favorite song of hers yet.  Ezra Furman says that her upcoming album is: "... an orchestral emo prog-rock record sprinkled with samples."

Photo by Eleanor Petry Any new song from Ezra Furman is something to celebrate. The Boston singer-songwriter always has a completely different sound to every single while still sounding exactly like her. "Grand Mal" has this amazing laid back singer-songwriter sound with an R&B vibe and a retro cool that doesn't really fit any specific time period. It's the kind of song that sounds like it was written for a movie to fit a certain scene, but also works universally as a great song. Furman is one of the most talented and creative artists in music today. If you're familiar with her work, you already know that. If you're just discovering her, welcome to her fandom. You're in for a treat. You can watch the video for "Grand Mal" below. Goodbye Small Head is due out May 16 on Bella Union, and is available for pre-order here .
