Blitzen Trapper will make their Sub Pop debut with their fourth album, Furr, on September 23rd. Conceived while touring in support of their 2007 breakout album, Wild Mountain Nation, and recorded at the band's studio at Sally Mack's School of Dance, Furr was primarily written on a borrowed old upright piano: 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.”
Stream the title track on the Urban Outfitters blog and download the 21-track mix LSTN #1, which the store's website calls, "for lack of a better word, a banger." Ugh...
