Ezra Furman is an American musician and songwriter known for his unique blend of rock, folk, and punk influences. With a distinctive voice and introspective lyrics, he has gained a loyal following for his honest and heartfelt songs. Born in Chicago, Illinois, Furman began his musical career in the early 2000s and has since released several critically acclaimed albums. His music explores themes of identity, love, and social justice, making him a powerful voice in the indie music scene.
Throughout his career, Ezra Furman has garnered praise for his energetic live performances and raw emotional delivery. He is known for pushing boundaries with his genre-defying sound and thought-provoking lyrics. Whether performing solo or with his band The Visions, Furman captivates audiences with his passionate performances that leave a lasting impact.
In addition to his musical pursuits, Ezra Furman is also an outspoken advocate for LGBTQ+ rights. His personal experiences as a queer artist have informed much of his work and he uses his platform to raise awareness about issues affecting the community. Through both his music and activism, Furman continues to inspire listeners around the world.

As a singer, songwriter, and author whose incendiary music has soundtracked the Netflix show Sex Education, Ezra Furman has for years woven together stories of queer discontent andunlikely, fragile intimacies. She has a knack for zeroing in on the light that sparks whenstruggling people find each other and ease each other's course. All of Us Flames widens that focus to a communal scope, painting transformative connections among people who unsettlethe stories power tells to sustain itself.

Produced by John Congleton in L.A., All of Us Flames unleashes Furman's songwriting in an open, vivid sound world whose boldness heightens the music's urgency. The record arrives as the third installment in a trilogy of albums, beginning with 2018's Springsteen-inflected road saga Transangelic Exodus and continuing with the punk rock fury of 2019's Twelve Nudes.

"This is a first person plural album," Furman says. "It's a queer album for the stage of life whenyou start to understand that you are not a lone wolf, but depend on finding your family, your people, how you work as part of a larger whole. I wanted to make songs for use by threatened communities, and particularly the ones I belong to: trans people and Jews."

She wrote much of Flames during the early months of the pandemic. "I had no time alone anymore; my house was super crowded," she says. She drove to seek solitude, parked in arbitrary quiet spots around Massachusetts, and began to write. The songs that came flowed toward ideas of communality and networks of care, systems of survival cultivated by necessity among people who have been historically deprived of them.
