Ezra Furman is an artist who refuses to be boxed in, bringing creativity and emotion to her sound. Her music blends punk energy with deeply personal storytelling, making her one of the most unique voices in the music scene. Over the years, she’s explored everything from upbeat, genre-mixing anthems on Perpetual Motion People to the cinematic world of Transangelic Exodus.

Her latest track, “Grand Mal,” keeps that energy going with a wild, fast-paced burst of garage-punk. It’s rough around the edges in the best way, with buzzing guitars and Furman’s urgent vocals pulling you into the chaos. It’s the kind of song that hits hard and doesn’t let go—another reminder of why Furman’s music is so powerful.
