Posted by LetsLoop on October 23, 2017, 3:45 pm Chicago indie-rocker @Ezra Furman has announced details to his much-anticipated 4th album, Transangelic Exodus, and shared a new single from it called Love You So Bad.Transangelic Exodus is out February 9th and follows up his amazing 2015 album, Perpetual Motion People, and last year's excellent Big Fugitive Life EP. It will also feature the recently released lead single, Driving Down to L.A..
Here's what Ezra had to say about his new album:
"2016 was a hard year. While the political and cultural conversation devolved in a very threatening way, we travelled and toured a lot. We saw ourselves coming to the end of what we were, and we wanted to become something new. Not a concept record, but almost a novel, or a cluster of stories on a theme, a combination of fiction and a half-true memoir. A personal companion for a paranoid road trip. A queer outlaw saga.
The narrative thread is I’m in love with an angel, and a government is after us, and we have to leave home because angels are illegal, as is harbouring angels. The term ‘transangelic’ refers to the fact people become angels because they grow wings. They have an operation, and they’re transformed. And it causes panic because some people think it’s contagious, or it should just be outlawed.
“The album still works without the back story, though. What’s essential is the mood — paranoid, authoritarian, the way certain people are stigmatized. It’s a theme in American life right now, and other so-called democracies."
Given the genre-hopping majesty of Perpetual Motion People you won't be surprised that the influences for Ezra's new album are a diverse as ever, citing @Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp A Butterfly, @Vampire Weekend's Modern Vampires of the City, @Kanye West's Yeezus and @Angel Olsen's Burn Your Fire For No Witness as the album's biggest influences.
If you're new to Ezra and would like to hear more, we highly recommend listening to Restless Year, Lousy Connection, My Zero and The Refugee.

Love You So Bad lyrics:
You know I love you so bad
I don't believe in love
You know I love you so bad, so bad
You know I love you so bad
Like the kid in the back of the classroom
Who can't do the math cos he can't see the blackboard, so bad
You know I love you so bad
Like the kid skipping class in the bathrooms
Sneaking cigarettes underneath the football bleachers baby, so bad
You know I love you so bad
Like the kid growing up [...]
Tearing pages out the back of the hymnals
Love notes baby, so bad
Still remember so bad
The nights mom got drunker than dad did
She told me, "never hang out with the bad kids"
What can you say to that?
I always knew I was bad
Always dreaming so they called me the Spaceman
You first kissed me in your parent's blue basement
I wanted you baby so bad
Sometimes we got out of hand
We bought drugs from a parking attendant
Sober nights in your car were transcendent
I loved you baby so bad
You know I loved you so bad
Somehow you got yourself accepted to college
You said there had to be a way out of all this
Garbage small town rat trap
You moved away that was that
You still send me the occasional email
I got a dumb job working in retail
I miss you baby so bad, so bad
I drew your name in the sand
I came to the beach cos we used to go here
I watched the blue wave cover it over
And do what the ocean does best
I know the past is the past
Then again, the present's nothing without it
I feel fine, don't even feel sad about it
I just love you baby so bad
So bad so bad
