Perpetual Motion People
Unlike the wiry, anxious music his brother Jonah writes with the Massachusetts band Krill, Ezra Furman's music hides little behind metaphor or enigma. Perpetual Motion People is a playful, hefty romp through folk, blues, and plain old rock'n'roll.
Furman recasts his personal woes into forty minutes of endlessly fascinating creativity by throwing sixty years of popular music into a blender.
