Ezra Furman‘s landmark 10th studio album, Goodbye Small Head, is out now via Bella Union. It has garnered acclaim across NPR, Talkhouse, PASTE Magazine, Pitchfork, InsideHook, Under The Radar, FLOOD Magazine, NPR Into Music podcast, Noir, GLAAD, Boston Globe, BrooklynVegan, and more. Today, she is thrilled to share the final album preview single “Sudden Storm”. Blending 60s experimental rock with Ezra’s singular punk sensibility, it was written during the same hypomanic session as album opener and lauded lush lead single “Grand Mal” after talking to an epileptic friend about the mystical quality of certain epileptic seizures.

Goodbye Small Head was written during a maelstrom of overwhelm. Many songs on the new album are steeped in the helpless transcendence of being suddenly overcome, undone. The album title is a nuanced homage to the 1999 Sleater-Kinney single “Get Up”. Over the course of her illustrious career, Furman has scored Netflix’s Sex Education, authored Lou Reed: Transformer for the 33 ⅓ series, became a mother and most recently collaborated with Sharon Van Etten to cover Sinead O’Connor’s “Feel So Different” for the TRANSA benefit compilation by the not for profit organization Red Hot – just to name a few.

About Ezra Furman

Ezra Furman is a boundary-breaking artist whose fearless creativity and emotional honesty have made her one of the most compelling voices in modern music. Blending punk energy, heartfelt lyricism, and genre-defying innovation, Furman’s work is both deeply personal and universally resonant.

The albums she’s released over the past decade demonstrate both her extraordinary talent and artistic evolution. Perpetual Motion People (2015) is a vibrant, genre-hopping explosion of wit and melody, while Transangelic Exodus (2018) pushed boundaries with its dystopian storytelling and atmospheric soundscapes, exploring themes of love, defiance, and identity. Twelve Nudes (2019) delivered raw, punk-fueled catharsis, channeling anger and resilience into fiery anthems. Her last album, All of Us Flames (2022), is a cinematic and deeply moving exploration of queer liberation, weaving intimate storytelling with grand, sweeping arrangements. She also found time to record the soundtrack for the Netflix smash hit TV series Sex Education.

Ezra Furman’s music is a testament to the power of individuality and authenticity, marking her as a truly unique voice in modern music.
