Ezra Furman unveils new song "Book Of Our Names"

After returning last month with "Point Me Toward The Real", Furman has unveiled a second new track titled "Book Of Our Names".

"This song is about what it feels like to live together under an empire that doesn’t value your lives," Furman explains. "I sing it as a Jew and as a trans woman, knowing well the stakes and consequences of being part of a hated population. But it is a protest song intended for use by any movement for collective survival and freedom. I noticed that the book of the Bible called Exodus in English, the one where the Hebrews escape slavery in Egypt, is called the Book of Names in Hebrew. And I started to think that the act of saying names out loud, of seeing individuals in their full irreplaceable uniqueness, holds the seed of true liberation."

Last year Furman released her Sex Education: Songs from Season 3 EP. She's yet to follow up 2019's Twelve Nudes album.
