Please Don't Forget That Ezra Miller Is Still In A Band

I don't know about you, nevertheless I've Been casually keeping an eye on Ezra Miller ever since I saw him in Beware The Gonzo in 2010. Shortly soon after that introduction, I watched We Need to Talk About Kevin and order kind of became obsessed with him although his character was a creepy psychopath. It was throughout this time that I noticed out Ezra was also the frontman of an indie musical group called Sons of a Illustrious Father and I knew that I had noticed the one. Back in those days, the Brooklyn-based trio's sound was more option folk leaning, yet right now they describe themselves as "genre queer" which I totally support (and you must also.


Today, the musical group unveiled a Raf Scobey-Thai-directed music video for their latest single "Extraordinary Rendition" and it's a full-on efficiency art spectacle. Ezra's mother, Martha Miller even came up with the choreography for the visual so it's truly something special to behold. In a recent interview with PAPER, Ezra explained how the song refers to the "U.S. Government-sponsored practice of extrajudicial transfer of someone from one place suddenly to another."


"The song is about the moment any time a unknown is suddenly transferred out of the frail and narrow perceptual lens that we generally exist in," he adds. "And, for one reason or another, the conscious filter breaks, and the way that this person suddenly begins to be able to see things in an outlandish, familiar [way] and group kind of a journey through that experience."


Needless to say, Ezra is still very mobile with his career as an actor with big roles in the franchises for Fantastic Beasts and Marvel Because the Flash. Either way, I plan to gladly take any art form that he chooses to put out into the world.
