The album will be released worldwide&nbsp;on August 30th&nbsp;via Bella Union. To celebrate the announcement, Furman has shared an animated video for the album\u2019s lead track <em>Calm Down<\/em>, which wad directed by Beth Jeans Houghton. You can check it out via YouTube below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gLecVxlnZG8?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-CA&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<em>This is our punk record<\/em>,\u201d says Ezra Furman. \u201c<em>We made it in Oakland, quickly. We drank and smoked. Then we made the loud parts louder. I hurt my voice screaming. This was back in 2018, when things were bad in the world. The songs are naked with nothing to hide<\/em>.\u201d Immediate proof is offered by <em>Calm Down<\/em> (aka \u2018I Should Not Be Alone\u2019), the album\u2019s insanely catchy opening track and lead single, bound up in a compact two minutes and 22 seconds. \u201c<em>Calm Down is so desperate, and not what I want to say about the world<\/em>,\u201d says Furman. \u201c<em>I think we curate our reactions to current news because we\u2019re overwhelmed by how bad it is, and I noticed I was suppressing how bad I truly felt. I wanted music that gave me permission to feel how it felt to live in a broken world, which punk rock does.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furman\u2019s preceding album, 2018\u2019s&nbsp;&#8216;Transangelic Exodus,&#8217; was \u201c<em>an angry and fearful and pent-up reaction to events too<\/em>,\u201d he recalls. \u201c<em>But it was a carefully written and recorded version; we took a lot of time with edits and overdubs. I knew I wanted I make this album quickly and not spend time thinking how to play the songs. Twelve Nudes is a \u2018body\u2019 more than a \u2018mind\u2019 record &#8211; more animal than intellectual, And by affirming negativity, it gives you energy, to reject stuff. There\u2019s more space for positivity.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Far from being defeated by a world in turmoil, Furman\u2019s productivity has only increased the worse things have got &#8211; and he\u2019s taken up different disciplines to boot. Between &#8216;Transangelic Exodus&#8217; and &#8216;Twelve Nudes,&#8217; the 33\u2153 imprint published his deeply personal, thoughtful and incisive book on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/ecbiz178.inmotionhosting.com:2096\/cpsess4228653571\/3rdparty\/roundcube\/#NOP\">Lou Reed<\/a>\u2019s legendary 1972 album &#8216;Transformer&#8217;, before Furman scored the soundtrack to Netflix\u2019s acclaimed comedy Sex Education (it aired in January), which showcased the tender side of his songwriting.<br>But all his pent-up energy had to be channelled somewhere: hence&nbsp;&#8216;Twelve Nudes&#8217;, which Furman and band recorded in October and November 2018 before the album was mixed by the venerated producer&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/ecbiz178.inmotionhosting.com:2096\/cpsess4228653571\/3rdparty\/roundcube\/#NOP\">John Congleton<\/a>&nbsp;(<a href=\"https:\/\/ecbiz178.inmotionhosting.com:2096\/cpsess4228653571\/3rdparty\/roundcube\/#NOP\">Sharon van Etten<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/ecbiz178.inmotionhosting.com:2096\/cpsess4228653571\/3rdparty\/roundcube\/#NOP\">St Vincent<\/a>, John Grant). Furman says the album has two spiritual heroes \u2013 the late great punk rock rocker&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/ecbiz178.inmotionhosting.com:2096\/cpsess4228653571\/3rdparty\/roundcube\/#NOP\">Jay Reatard<\/a>, and Canadian poet, philosopher and essayist Anne Carson. \u201c<em>She\u2019s one of my top three living writers,<\/em>\u201d he says. \u201c<em>Anne had these visions, or meditations, to deal with the intense pain in her life, which she calls \u2018nudes\u2019, and similarly these songs are meditations on pain and recognising what\u2019s there if you go digging around in your anger and fear and anxiety. So, my album is called&nbsp;&#8216;Twelve Nudes.<\/em>&#8216;\u201d<br><br>\u201c<em>The record is political<\/em>,\u201d says Furman, \u201c<em>but it offers an emotional reaction rather than being specific or partisan<\/em>.\u201d Furman\u2019s Jewish identity shapes \u2018Rated R Crusaders,\u2019 triggered by the Israel\/Palestine conflict and its complex web of refugee trauma. <em>Trauma<\/em>, meanwhile, seethes with the spiritual malaise brought on by watching wealthy bullies accused of sexual assault rise to power. America, Furman well knows, is balanced on a knife-edge between white male supremacy and the dream of universal opportunity; hence the references to Mexico, slave-owners and US \u2018founding father\u2019 Ben Franklin in \u2018In America\u2019. As Furman sings, reiterating the spirit of punk rock, and positivity, \u201c<em>Put it all in a two-minute pop song \/ A really-mean-it-a-lot song for America.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<em>One of my goals in making music is to make the world seem bigger, and life seem larger,<\/em>\u201d he concludes. \u201c<em>I want to be a force that tries to revive the human spirit rather than crush it, to open possibilities rather than close them down. Sometimes a passionate negativity is the best way to do that.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"496\" height=\"496\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/cover.jpg?resize=496%2C496\" alt=\"Ezra Furman Twelve Nudes cover artwork\" class=\"wp-image-30784\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/cover.jpg?w=496&amp;ssl=1 496w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/cover.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/cover.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/cover.jpg?resize=144%2C144&amp;ssl=1 144w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 496px) 100vw, 496px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&#8216;Twelve Nudes&#8217; tracklist<\/strong><br>1.
