★★★★
“THIS is a first-person plural album,” Ezra Furman says about her sixth solo record. “It’s a queer album ... songs for use by threatened communities.”
In terms of the US singer-songwriter’s personal experience, this means trans people and Jews (the album title is taken from a song in the second book of the Hebrew bible).
