iEzra

iEzra is a the project of Ezra Huleatt (Black Taxi) that see's him exploring a new musical space; one filled with disparate loops, hip hop drums, Morricone strings up against New Orleans brass. His latest album---Digital Downpour---highlights this clash of genres, resulting in songs that are biblical in proportion and mirror the movement of their production: sketches written in the deserts of New Mexico, fleshed out in Montauk basement sessions, and then recorded over a few months between NYC, Telluride and Tulum. The lyrics speak to the technologification of humanity, our stumble into a future of faster and better, the poetry of loss, of rage and optimism. The sound is an urban underbelly---all the grit, electricity, and lust---juxtaposed with a call to the wild, a whispered plea building to a disco tent revival, a mind caught between love and pain propped up on a heartbeat that refuses to go quietly.
