Ezra talks to practising psychotherapist and 6 Music DJ Nemone about how music affects her mental health and well-being, sharing the songs that have comforted and connected.

American Musician Ezra Furman chats to practising psychotherapist and 6 Music DJ Nemone about how music affects her mental health and well-being, sharing the songs that have comforted and connected. Ezra also reveals how she expresses thoughts, feelings and emotions through her own music and lyrics.

Ezra started out in 2006 as the lead singer and guitarist of Ezra Furman and the Harpoons until their fourth and final album, 鈥楳ysterious Power鈥�, in 2011. Her subsequent work has included the albums 鈥楧ay of the Dog鈥� in 2013, 鈥楶erpetual Motion People鈥� in 2015, 鈥楾ransangelic Exodus鈥� in 2018, and 鈥楢ll of Us Flames鈥�, released this year.

Ezra is also well known for providing the soundtrack to the Netflix drama-comedy series Sex Education. The soundtrack consists of songs from her back catalogue as well as songs written for the show. Furman and her band also appeared in episode seven of the first season of the show, 鈥楢t the Bottom of the Ocean鈥�, making a cameo as the band playing at the main characters' school dance.

Aside from her musical career, Ezra is a familiar voice on 主播大秀 6 Music as an occasional presenter on the station, and in 2018 she published 鈥�33鈪撯��, a book she wrote about Lou Reed鈥檚 album 鈥楾ransformer鈥�.

In this programme Ezra talks about her childhood and her own recent experience of becoming a parent. She also talks about Judaism, living as a transgender woman and owning her difference with joy. Featuring music from Anne Hills to Majical Cloudz, Bob Dylan to Toots and Maytals, and The Strokes to Carly Rae Jepson!
