Blitzen Trapper. Are damn incredible.
I havent found time to write something here about how much i fucking love this record. It was probably #1 or #2 on my nonexistent top 10 list last year. This band has made a record that is nearly flawless in
Furr. I first started listening to them after reading reviews of their breakthrough record,
Wild Mountain Nation (which was phenomonal). I read that they had the sound Pavement did on
Wowee Zowee. I had to check them out b/c there was no way that shit was legit. It was. Then between
WMN and
Furr, these dudes honed their sound into what is perfectly described on their
all music page as, "the late-'60s/early-'70s sundown vibe". A lot more polished, yet still ramshackle and loose. Bottom line is this shit fucking rules. Please do yourself a favor and find this album and buy it. They are absolutely #1 on my list for SXSW this year (next to the 7 SF shows). Can not wait to finally see them.
This song, just blows my mind everytime i hear it.
