The CD inlay starts with a section of explanation/scene setting: When my darling grew wings And the government came for us We lived in a red Camaro When your body’s illegal And the people sworn to protect you Refuse to protect you One may have to re-draw the map That once represented home And perhaps this Was always waiting to happen Perhaps we were always marked for outlawhood Ever since we. were kids Ever since we fell in love the wrong way And the exodus began.

Ezra Furman Explains His Creative Reset With 'Queer Outlaw Saga' Album 'Transangelic Exodus'. February 12, 2018, 1:50pm EST. As it happens, I got on the phone with Ezra Furman just a few days after watching Guillermo Del Toro’s The Shape of Water, the fantastical story of a biology lab custodian in the 1960s and her mission to help a humanoid aquatic creature escape from government agents.

Finally, an album for people born knowing that they are really angels. And, at long last, here it is. Chicago art-pop provocateur Ezra Furman’s eighth album (with various backing bands) tells the half-true memoir of Furman falling for a transangel and having to go on the run while shadowy government agencies and Nazi gangs hunt the lovers down. Which toilet they use along the way is unspecified. This romantic metaphor for the social and political oppression of the trans, non-binary and ld-rules-grandad community is every bit as confrontational musically as it is thematically.

Its energy, vulnerability, rage, and crafty poetics are awe-inspiring. Catchy tunes, great vocals, and a unique queer narrative make this a must-listen album. Ezra Furman shows more passion with his latest albumCatchy tunes, great vocals, and a unique queer narrative make this a must-listen album. Ezra Furman shows more passion with his latest album (and even more so in live shows). He's come out more publicly and the lyrics/sound of this album perfectly capture so many aspects and emotions of queer life. Culturally, this queer album is so relevant now. As a performer, Ezra comes off more real and relate-able than any other artist.

Ezra Furman’s voice is a venomous rasp. His lyrics the righteousness of teenage runaways. Synthesisers buzz like a swarm of hornets and drum machines bruise like a boxer’s hooks. Transangelic Exodus’ is the sound of the 21st century western world’s rage. By his lyrics’ admission, Furman has ‘got the digital content blues,’ and he’s ‘sick of waiting for my deus ex machina. And he’s spitting at the grime-encrusted third eyes of the world’s placated. But Furman proves on ‘Transangelic Exodus’ that punk, electronic and even pop are far from spent forces. That with not a down-tuned guitar in sight, one can rage and thrash and spit to thrilling effect. The percussion on ‘Transangelic Exodus’ grooves and pummels in a decidedly ‘Flowers Of Romance’ fashion. Indeed, that venomous rasp owes a debt to John Lydon/Rotten’s iconic sneer.
