Blitzen Trapper - Furr

Furr is the fourth record by Portland sextet Blitzen Trapper and the follow-up to last year's highly acclaimed Wild Mountain Nation. Written in the gaps
of the group's frenetic touring schedule and recorded mostly in a hoary old telegraph building close by the Willamette River, the new record refines
and expands on the far-ranging yet distinctive songcraft that lies at the heart of Blitzen Trapper's unique appeal.
One key to this new material was an ancient, warped piano that appeared in the hallway one day at Sally Mack's School of Dance and which was
subsequently muscled into the group's studio. Though out of tune and missing teeth, this piano became the warhorse upon which Earley wrote and
recorded much of Furr. The beast has gone away to the landfill now, but you can still hear the clacking and clattering of its rickety skeleton in songs
like "Not Your Lover" and "Echo."
