Aug 28, 2019Twelve Nudes is a protest album—indeed the brief and bustling "Blown" opens with the straight statement "Trans Power!"—it's also a fantastic, filthy, punk rock record that offers to cement Furman's growing reputation as one of the best and, coincidentally, most important artists working today.
-
Aug 27, 2019Twelve Nudes makes all the moves some of us have wanted from Furman: faster, brisker music, clearer politics, bigger riffs, and impossible-to-ignore shouting. It feels a couple highlights short of a punk classic, but it’s the follow-up that last year’s excellent Transangelic Exodus probably deserves.
-
Sep 24, 2019Despite the pain expressed, or maybe because of it, this is a fun record.
-
Aug 30, 2019It’s the harshest record he has made. The absence of saxophonist Tim Sandusky means there is no softness to the corners, just jagged edges – but the melodies are still indelible, the hooks still exhilarating. It’s the sound of someone exploding.
-
Aug 29, 2019Even at its most subdued, the relentless and invigorating Twelve Nudes crackles and pops like an alkali metal hitting water.
-
Aug 29, 2019When the feedback and distortion doesn’t obscure the words, it’s clear that Twelve Nudes contains some of Furman’s finest lyrics yet.
-
Aug 28, 2019This fuzzy, muddy record splits the difference between the bubblegum pop-punk of Furman’s earlier albums, such as 2015’s ‘Perpetual Motion People’, and the more unknowable ‘Transangelic Exodus’.
-
Aug 28, 2019This isn’t Furman’s best album, but it might be his most heartfelt, his most intense, his most candid – and that’s more than enough for now.
-
Aug 27, 2019Twelve Nudes is Furman’s most urgent and cathartic record to date.
-
Aug 27, 2019He's has created a blistering and often beautiful protest album. Let's hope his fever catches; it'd do us all some good.

MojoAug 22, 2019Twelve Nudes' unbridled howl, mania and joy is on the nose. [Sep 2019, p.95]
-
Q MagazineAug 22, 2019Twelve Nudes is a deliriously fun, seriously thought-provoking record that manages to gratify on every level. [Sep 2019, p.113]
-
UncutAug 22, 2019Furman's distinctive shrieking, poetic phrasing and postmodernist perspective prevents the work from sounding overtly derivative. It instead borrows the best qualities of its forebears, and fuses them into something new. [Sep 2019, p.22]
-
Classic Rock MagazineAug 22, 2019It's music to glue your arse to a Barclays to. [Sep 2019, p.84]
-
Aug 28, 2019The record is as raw as a scraped knee and more furious than a woman scorned, a brick through the window of our reactionary era that draws inspiration from the equally pissed-off first wave of punk rock.
-
Aug 27, 2019Twelve Nudes is loud, sometimes sarcastic, often pointed and invariably entertaining. The album is the work of an artist with a keen sense of his own capabilities, and it’s a fitting soundtrack to a world in turmoil.
-
Sep 9, 2019She has a lot going on up there, and she seems to feel a responsibility to sort through it all. An impatient conversationalist might prod her to just spit it out. On her most direct and brash album yet, Twelve Nudes, Furman does exactly that, and spits in a few faces along the way.
-
Sep 3, 2019Coming in at 26 minutes, Twelve Nudes doesn’t hang around and, by design, is a much more modest record than Transangelic Exodus. It rarely matches the highs on last year’s effort, but paired together, it suggests Furman is the midst of a prolific period.

Sep 1, 2019Não apresenta muita diferença em relação a outras bandas do gênero, mas é bem produzido e nos remete ao rock dos anos 50.
