Twelve Nudes is the fifth solo studio album by
Ezra Furman. It was released on August 30, 2019, through
Bella Union.
Development
The album takes its name from a series of meditations by
Anne Carson "on the intense pain we deal with in life".[1] Furman was inspired to create Twelve Nudes by her anger at the perceived injustices of the
Trump administration and
late capitalism, as well as her Jewish and transgender identities.[1]
