Music I Missed: Ezra Furman

I am going to try and highlight some of the many albums that were released this past year, including Ezra Furman's latest albums. "Day of the Dog" is a little all over the map, but "My Zero" is a catchy, pop-ish single that is attracting some attention. "Anything Can Happen" is another stand out, as is "Been So Strange." There's some Delta Spirit/J. Roddy Walston/Deer Tick in here. I previously highlighted Ezra for "Mysterious Power" which was a much more catchy tune with the Harpoons.

Another Paste Discovery

Actually, this really isn't a Paste discovery, since I knew of the band already, but Ezra Furman & the Harpoons had the title track on the new "sampler" called "Mysterious Power."  It really caught my eye (ear!) and I've been streaming the new album. It's a fun, uplifting catchy tune. The next track "Teenage Wasteland" is also a bouncy upbeat tune. It's making my Wednesday go by a little faster.

Throw Me the Statue and Generationals are similar artists. Fund, upbeat, lots of melody.  Good stuff.
