EZRA FURMAN – Transangelic Exodus – LP €23.99, CD €12.99 (Bella Union)

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.
