About this Event

Following hot on the heels of the first CD release of his solo debut The Year of No Returning, Oakland resident Ezra Furman is issuing Day Of the Dog, his second solo effort after a fruitful five year/fouralbum stint leading Boston's Harpoons.



Day of the Dog sees Furman progressing from the dark chamber-pop and gorgeous balladry of his solo debut and emerging as a stylish, technicolor, pulse-quickening rock provocateur conjuring an intriguingselection of iconic vintage styles.



Throughout the album, there is a sense of bold ambition and grand artistry in thetradition of songwriting giants of the past, but set apart by an undercurrent of deranged, ragged glory.Songs like "My Zero" and "Been So Strange" take the broad-stroke tunefulness 80's heartland rock,strip off the gloss, deconstruct it, and reassemble it along unsettling and far more potent lines.



Ezra once again has re-invented himself , this time as an angry young man ready to throw himself on the pyre in search of the redemption that will follow.



With the Guardian giving the album *****/5 and more reviews to follow over the next week. Expect one of 2014's highlights.
