Blitzen Trapper Announce Fourth LP, Stream New Track

Blitzen Trapper - Furr Blitzen Trapper will make their Sub Pop debut with their fourth album, Furr, on September 23rd. Conceived while touring in support of their 2007 breakout album, Wild Mountain Nation, and recorded at the band's studio at Sally Mack's School of Dance, Furr was primarily written on a borrowed old upright piano:
One key to this new material was an ancient, warped piano that appeared in the hallway one day at Sally Mack’s School of Dance and which was subsequently muscled into the group’s studio. Though out of tune and missing teeth, this piano became the warhorse upon which Earley wrote and recorded much of Furr. The beast has gone away to the landfill now, but you can still hear the clacking and clattering of its rickety skeleton in songs like “Not Your Lover” and “Echo.”
Stream the title track on the Urban Outfitters blog and download the 21-track mix LSTN #1, which the store's website calls, "for lack of a better word, a banger." Ugh...

Video: Blitzen Trapper - "Wild Mountain Nation"

It's been a while since we've heard from the Blitzen Trapper boyz. Let's re-cap: they came out of nowhere in '07 with a great record (Wild Mountain Nation), made a couple of seizure inducing videos for it, and then signed to Sub Pop. Now the Seattle band has finally come through with a vid for the album's title track and best song.

New Blitzen Trapper Video and MP3

Another unsettling extreme close-up-heavy video from Blitzen Trapper just hit the wire. This time around, the boys make you nauseous at an arcade with "Woof & Warp of the Quiet Giant's Hem" as the soundtrack. Perhaps not so coincidentally, this news is coupled with a new remix of "Sci-Fi Kid," which is even more nauseating. But we're not so big on remixes...

Video: Blitzen Trapper - "Devil's A-Go-Go"

Blitzen Trapper somehow manage to meld the stylings of Pavement and the mellow country side of the Grateful Dead in a surprisingly coherent (and very fun) way on their tasty new record, Wild Mountain Home. This brand new video for "Devil's A-Go-Go" leans toward the Malkmus side of the equation.

Staff picked track of the day

"Recorded entirely under solar power," Brightblack Morning Light like things like tee-pees, headbands and most likely hallucinogenic drugs. More solar power to 'em. Their second album of slow motion hippie blues, Motion to Rejoin, is due September 23rd on Matador. [DOWNLOAD]

Featured Review

Consider Rook essential summer listening. Like your "Summer Reading" list, Rook isn't really "summer-y" at all. It's heavy, dense, dramatic and beautiful and dark. Four of those five adjectives actually DO apply to summer, come to think of it... - jimtarnation  [READ REVIEW]
