“Slow Burn”, Ezra Furman

This way: Slow Burn

Ezra Furman (born September 5, 1986) is an American musician and songwriter. Furman was the lead singer and guitarist of Ezra Furman and the Harpoons, formed in 2006, which ended with Mysterious Power (2011). Her subsequent work has included the albums Day of the Dog (2013), Perpetual Motion People (2015), Transangelic Exodus (2018), and All of Us Flames (2022), as well as parts of the soundtrack for all four seasons of the Netflix series Sex Education.

Furman announced her tenth studio album Goodbye Small Head in February 2025 with the single "Grand Mal", also announcing a UK and North American tour. The title of the album references a line from the 1999 Sleater-Kinney single "Get Up," whereas "Grand Mal" refers to an antiquated term for a seizure. She has described the record as "an orchestral emo prog-rock record sprinkled with samples", with 12 songs that portray "12 variations on the experience of completely losing control, whether by weakness, illness, mysticism, BDSM, drugs, heartbreak or just living in a sick society with one’s eyes open." Brian Deck, who had previously produced Harpoons albums Banging Down The Doors and Inside The Human Body, returned to produce this album.
