HSD Top 10 Albums 2016 - No 10

10 Ezra Furman – Perpetual Motion People


Perpetual Motion People came out in 2015 so I can’t really place it any higher up the chart but it has been a big record for me this year. Ezra is an absolute character, a tornado of charisma and personality, who wears his heart on his sleeve. He can be a 50s rock and roller, or a punk rocker and enjoys a large helping of 80s sax with his music. I was listening to the Young Americans album by Bowie the other day and the sax made me think of Perpetual Motion People. Ezra gives the impression that he is continually on the verge of a nervous breakdown, which adds a real sense of hammed up drama to his music and his live show. He gave a brilliant performance at The Roundhouse in October. Don’t stand still Ezra, perpetual motion please.
