Sometimes just singing a song won't do - Songwriters know that from time to time you simply must wail to get your point across in a fashion befitting the feeling you've got eating up your insides like an accursed tapeworm. This is a truth that Ezra Furman is well acquainted with as evidenced by his band's third full length effort Mysterious Power. Ezra Furman and The Harpoons scored a minor hit amongst indie fans on their last album with the catchy "Take Off Your Sunglasses". As much as I dig that tune I already feel like this new album which hits shelves tomorrow is a fuller, richer, piece of work, than Inside The Human Body. There is an honesty to these songs, sometimes quiet and reserved ( "Mysterious Power", "Fall in Love With My World") and sometimes brash and near scathing ("Bloodsucking Whore") Whichever variety it feels genuine in a way I can't help but appreciate.
