Album Review
This seven-track companion piece to Blitzen Trapper's superb 2008 release, Furr (all of the tracks have been available to fans since early 2008 in CD-R form at the band's shows), is built around that album's darkest moment, the murder ballad "Black River Killer." While the six tracks that follow don't wallow in the same waters of failed redemption as the title track, they do cling to Furr's folksier moments, resulting in a solid addendum for those who prefer Blitzen Trapper's Bob Dylan meets the Grateful Dead fetish over their visceral, vaguely psychedelic Southern indie rock jams. Standout cuts like the breezy "Preacher's Sister's Boy," the Beatlesque "Going Down," and the straight-up Skynrd-tastic "Big Black Bird" offer further proof that the Pacific Northwest (home of the Fleet Foxes and M. Ward) is not so quietly reinventing Americana for the 21st century.
Customer Reviews
A great EP
Black River Killer is a great song, and the music video for the song is as amazing. The band decided to release an EP around the song, which is a good idea for the rest of us who did not own the rest of the songs -- usually found on their tour CDs only. All the songs are good in this EP, except "Black Rock", which sounds a bit weird, kind of like the very old work of the Trappas. I wish that the band had included "Crushing the wheat" (another rarity) instead of "Black Rock". Nevertheless, a great EP.
Good
This is a great band, to put it mildly. They have mastered what futurama called " vaugly folkish alterna raok". There is nothing more to be said than that.
Great Band
this is one of the best bands out there right now!! every song is good and enjoyable. Great EP, and i cant wait for their new album.
