Last week Michael Hann declared Ezra Furman's Day of the Dog to be a "genre classic … Ezra Furman has made an album of classicist rock'n'roll that never feels like an exercise, but a living, breathing piece of self-expression."

High praise indeed. Which made us think: maybe you'd like to hear the record too. Day of the Dog – the follow-up to The Year of No Returning – is rock'n'roll at its fuzziest, providing a punky take on powerpop and R&B.

Will you enjoy it as much as Mr Hann? We hope so. Have a listen, using the widget below, and let us know your thoughts in the comment section.
