Blitzen Trapper is releasing a new EP called Black River Killer on August 25th and it features the song “Black River Killer” from their full length Furr as well as 6 more songs that have been, up to now, only available as a CDR that they’ve been selling at their live performances for the past year or so. Get it and make sure to check out the Black River Killer video by Daniel Elkayam that came out earlier this year. [Sub Pop]
Check out that song in video (below) and MP3 (above) form. Full EP tracklist and art are below
Blitzen Trapper tours Europe through the end of September. Shortly afterward, the band kicks off a fall tour starting in their hometown of Portland, OR.
