Ezra Furman has been on the music scene since 2006 when he started out in four-piece rock band Ezra Furman & the Harpoons and released the critically acclaimed album Banging Down The Doors. 3 studio albums later and Furman went solo, released Day Of The Dog and then went back to a new band Ezra Furman & the Boy-Friends. It’s safe to say Ezra is a busy man when it comes to music and he only gets busier. He recently signed to independent label Bella Union, and released his new solo single ‘Restless Year’.

Restless Year is 2 minutes and 25 seconds of pure ‘90s indie rock with a hint of ‘80s pop. It’s very reminiscent of Jack White’s current Lazaretto sound, with Furman’s classic indie rock edge. The song has all the makings of a hit and with winter ending and spring beginning, this song is a perfect way to start off the warmer weather. Give it a listen and keep an ear out for this song as it’ll be everywhere in due time.
