Watch Ezra Furman's stop-motion dance routine for "Restless Year", exclusively on Best Fit

Featuring nifty editing, stop-motion action and more costume changes than a Madonna concert, Furman creates a quirky, jerky clip to accompany his abrupt garage-rock smash.

Introducing the visuals, Furman says: "Hello my dears, I hope you enjoy this musical video-film, made by the incomparable Jo Brett. This is pretty much an accurate depiction of what my life is like. Zipping around the San Francisco Bay Area, feeling insane, looking amazing. Reading, dancing, falling, encountering Death. This is how I live, moving wildly and freely through a world that has nothing to do with me. Special thanks to the fabulous Restless Year Dancers, the good people at Kayo Books, and Death, who as always was available at short notice."

Editor/director Joseph Brett expands on the clip, saying: "Ezra pushes so much energy through his music and I knew it would be important to find that same energy in the video for Restless Year. Stop motion might not seem like the obvious choice for that, but with a huge amount of patience from Ezra we were able to make something together which is as energising and adventurous as the song itself... over a process of days we made our way around San Francisco frame by frame, step by step, in what is probably the slowest tour of a city I’ve ever been on. Ezra took to the technique almost immediately, and it’s his performance within that brilliant city which makes the video so fun."

Furman's new album is expected via his new label Bella Union in the coming months.
