Portland, Oregon, United States (2000 – present)

Blitzen Trapper are a sextet based out of Portland, Oregon, United States. In various combinations and guises, the group had already played a long time together before the “crystalization event” in July 2000 on the slopes of the famous volcano Mt Hood. Since then they have delighted audiences of all ages and socioeconomic groups, mostly playing close to home and for many years distributing recordings like itinerant madmen, for free.

Seeing them support Wilco at the end of the summer so I thought I should check them out, I have not been disappointed!

In Black River Killer, I'm feeling a bit of 80's-90's rap synth. Such a nice fusion with the folksy vocals. This song really stands out on the album. Love to see successful experimentation.

I bought Furr last weekend and have been listening to it non-stop. Such a great album! Every time I think that Blitzen Trapper can be classified as country, they throw some funky, offbeat noises into a song. They're in a cool, undefined class all their own.
