Ezra Furman and Alex Walton unveil collaborative single, “Tie Me To The Train Tracks”
Ezra Furman has unveiled the new single, “Tie Me To The Train Tracks” which comes complete with a B-side, “Beat Me Up”, with vocals by fellow Boston resident Alex Walton.
“I have met very few people who both understand the sheer psychospiritual power and potential of our inherited forms of popular music and can also execute the practical magic that creates new expressions of that music. Alex Walton is one of those very few people. She is a rock’n’roll goddess-waif who changed my life," Ezra Furman explains.
"We made this song in a burst of neurotic passion at her old house in Roxbury, Boston one chronically-ill afternoon. The chains of luv had got us in their mortal grasp and it all came pouring out. And there’s a B-side (‘Beat Me Up’) too, out of this miniature masochistic fragment I’d made up which she then made into a brilliant full song, played and recorded entirely by her, that hits hard and leaves a mark. I don’t know how she does it but I feel lucky to do it with her.”
“It was an honour and a privilege to not only work with Ezra, but to have her in my house, writing and recording together, going to the porch with cigarettes and notebooks in our hands, trying to contextualize everything. We wanted to make something stripped down, noisy, harsh, but still delicate, beautiful, frail. I think we achieved this," adds Alex Walton.
“Tie Me To The Train Tracks” is out now via Bella Union.
