Furr

Description

This mythical Blitzen Trapper album is a perfect blend of experimental folk, country, and pop. Blitzen Trapper, the experimental country and folk-rock band from Portland, released Furr on Sub Pop in 2008. This record achieved worldwide success, even ranking 13th in Rolling Stone’s list of the 50 Best Albums of 2008. For this new deluxe edition of Furr, Blitzen Trapper offers us: the original album and 12 never-before-released songs. All of these songs come from the same recordings that produced the album Furr, with the exception of the songs from "Live at KCWR," which were recorded during the Furr Tour. After the album’s success, the unreleased songs "War is Placebo", "Booksmart Baby," and "Maybe Baby" appeared on limited-edition singles for Record Store Day in 2009 and 2011 and now appear in this reissue. This reissue also includes a new note from Eric Earley on the album and the record’s current meaning. There is also a track-by-track description of the bonus tracks, and a Q&A with the live technicians and fans of Blitzen Trapper and Rainn Wilson. FOR FANS OF Dandy Warhols, Beck
