Blitzen Trapper – Live @ Pitchfork

August 12, 2009

In Sunday afternoon’s field of indie & punk, Blizten Trapper’s laid back southern-fried roots rock was a welcome change of pace. The band’s set was almost completely culled from their latest album Furr, and the Portland band breezed through alt-folk jams like “Sleepytime in the Western World” and “Furr” complete with pretty four-part harmonies and awe-inspiring beards (the drummer wins my “best beard” award for the festival).  Having missed out on seeing Fleet Foxes at last year’s Pitchfork Festival, Blitzen Trapper proved to be a more than formidable replacement.
