Too bad Sub Pop's experimental folk act
Blitzen Trapper didn't exist in the mid-ninties, when their dual endorsement deal with Trapper Keeper could have earned some ancillary income for their already lucrative at-least-one-release-a-year-and-tour-until-we-die mentality (ideas!). For now the only Blitzen Trapper Keeper will be the one I made in ninth grade.*
But they have a new album!
First track "Heaven and Earth" is pretty light fare for the boys, whose music is often more like alternative fried chicken. Check it out and get hungry for
Destroyer Of The Void, but not too hungry, because it's out 6/18 (via Sub Pop). Here, have a snack (MP3 link below). -
