Blitzen Trapper : Wild Mountian Nation

MOKB loved Blitzen Trapper in 2006 and played On A Dime pretty much nonstop. Not that they really were a secret, but if they were, the secret is out now. Pitchfork recently gave the band's latest effort, Wild Mountain Nation, an 8.5. Time to get on board, if you aren't already. This Portland, Oregon band is the way, the truth and more than just alright. They've self-released all three of their albums and are probably moving firmly into the top-three of incredibly hot unsigned bands. Buy all three of their albums here.

"...if you're down with the diversity and can sit still while the band tears through every idea it has left, Wild Mountain Nation is a revelation from beginning to end." - Jason Crock, P'fork
