Listening Party : Blitzen Trapper : Furr

Blitzen Trapper packed the house this weekend at Monolith. The kids from Vampire Weekend even crammed in to see them perform. They performed in the Rock Room, which should have fit about 300 people, but I would guess there were quite a few more than that. They shared lots of songs from their upcoming album, Furr, which will be released on September 23rd via Sub Pop. The band's previous release, Wild Mountain Nation - their first release on Sub Pop, received some seriously glowing critical acclaim (8.5 on Pitchfork, "Breaking" band in Rolling Stone), so following it might have seemed like a daunting task, but if you listen, you'll see they keep the ball rolling in the right, and even more accessible, direction...



And seriously, is that 80's metal logo not the coolest thing you've seen in a while?! Wait to you see their gig posters for their upcoming tour - even better.
