Ezra Furman & The Harpoons

“The song drives and coils like the titular worm. You get caught in its spiral of sound.”

“The Worm in the Apple brings to mind rollicking adventures with sounds reminiscent of Modest Mouse. The vocals stream along while the instrumentation is simple and completely appropriate. A GEM OF A FOLK ROCK TUNE. The ¾ meter gets me every time. ”

“The storytelling song this group does so well is perfectly epitomized in this cut.”

“The talking line in the verses coupled with the strong harmonica line make this a fantastic song all around--definitely my favorite.”

“I'm too busy listening to this song again to decide what to say about it.”

“A good old folksy ballad that never stops entertaining.”

“This song plays with what it wants to be, and what I expect it to be. It never loses control, though so it works very well.”

“A somber and thoughtful look at disenfranchisement in the Midwest.”
