Truly some of the nicest guys in indie rock, Portland, Oregon’s
@blitzentrapper were always good to Indianapolis. They toured through multiple times, always giving us a great show. Their 2008 #Laundromatinee session featuring this cut, “Black River Killer,” from their classic album “Furr,” always felt like it should’ve had an evening campfire in the middle of the band.
@ericeearley ’s smile of satisfaction at the end still warms my heart, after all these years.
@spinmag raved “part Pavement, part Grateful Dead, part Neil Young, these North Westerners’ sound is a tasty rock ‘n’ roll Jamba Juice, and live they’re spot-on: singer-guitarist Eric Earley leads frenetic, fist-pumping jams and somber acoustic ditties, often back-to-back.”
@rollingstone praised the
@subpop band’s “ambling acoustic guitars, warm harmonies and vocalist Eric Earley’s ragged growl” and devotion to “radically rearranging [their classic American music,] scuffing it up and refitting it to serve their own purposes.”
