Furr
“After a ramshackle breakthrough LP, Wild Mountain Nation, Blitzen Trapper narrow their scope and sharpen their focus for their Sub Pop debut, proving they don't need to try so many different approaches when they've found one-- Dylan circa Basement Tapes-- that works so well.”
Wild Mountain Nation
“On their third album, Portland-based Blitzen Trapper unleash a cock-eyed stylistic blitzkrieg that comes closer to catching the carefree fuck-off sprawl of Pavement's Wowee Zowee than any record in recent memory. Spanning midwestern country-rock, mild-mannered indie pop, jagged art-rock, and West Coast swoon, Wild Mountain Nation swears allegiance to multiple touchstones of indie rock without limiting itself to just one.”

Though there have been one-off singles, multiple Daytrotter sessions, and scads of unreleased material before it, the self-pressed tour release *EP* includes some would-be singles nearly on ”
Field Rexx
“An earnest crack at bluegrass, country, and folk that also incorporates elements from many other genres.”
