Hello all, and thanks for signing up for this here Blitzen Trapper email newsletter. We've got a couple things to tell you about today, the biggest being the release of a brand new album! So let's get to it, eh?
New album Furr is out now
We're excited to report that the new album, Furr, came out this past Tuesday. This is the fourth BT release and the first on the venerable Sub Pop record label. There are links to buy it on CD, vinyl, and MP3 in the sidebar on the left. The CD and vinyl links go to Sub Pop's online store, where they'll also throw in a fancy BT patch and some stickers when you order the album. Of course, you can also get it at Amazon or, even better, your local awesome indie record store. For the the try-before-you-buy types, here's a link to download a free MP3 of the title track
, and you can also stream the whole album here. We've been getting a lot of great feedback already, and we really hope you all enjoy it!
Euro tour starts this week, US after that
We're all very excited to play the new songs for you all, which
we'll be doing at the locations and dates below. We'll be playing
with some truly fantastic bands this time, including Iron & Wine,
Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks, Horse Feathers, Parson Red Heads,
and Absentee. Hope to see you all there!
