“Over the course of their four full-lengths albums to date, including their revelatory 2008 Sub Pop release Furr, the Portland band Blitzen Trapper has already made that much clear. Earley’s considerable poetic talents and his band’s hard-earned chops have gained them a growing international audience. The band’s continuing exploration of American music that spans from the 60s folk movement to the country sounds of the 70s, to the pop balladry and prog rock of the 80s has earned it notice ranging from Rolling Stone magazine to late-night network television to Yo Gabba Gabba, among a great many others. This fifth album, Destroyer of the Void, takes Blitzen Trapper one step further, building on the band’s seamless marriage of the familiar and the fantastic to, literally, create an otherworldly experience.” — Sub Pop Records
