Ezra Furman reveals visuals for his "declaration of freedom", "Body Was Made"

The track features on Furman's latest LP, Perpetual Motion People. Its video features a surreal talent show with members of Peggy Sue and Landshapes forming Furman's foes.

Anika Mottershaw, the vid's director, says: "We wanted the video to feel goofy and fun. It was fun making it with our friends, and we hope that comes across.”

Furman adds: "'Body Was Made' is a protest song against the people and forces that would make me ashamed of my body, my gender and my sexuality. It's a declaration of freedom from false authority and self-appointed social police who have given me grief all my life.”

Perpetual Motion People is out now via Bella Union.
