US cult americana-rock heroes BLITZEN TRAPPER release 'Mystery and Wonder' EP....

February 6, 2016 Steve Muscutt

Acclaimed Portland, Oregon rock quintet Blitzen Trapper will tour across Europe this year including dates in London and Brighton. To celebrate they are releasing new EP ‘Mystery And Wonder’ today lead by the track of the same name from last years critically acclaimed album “All Across This Land”. Alongside the stunning title track, the EP also features the band’s own version of traditional tune “I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow” which they were asked to record specifically for US TV show Fargo and a satisfyingly raw live version of ‘Let The Cards Fall’ as a taster of what the shows will be like: Awesome!

Blitzen Trapper has built a solid reputation as a band unafraid to take chances. By incorporating a vast array of influences, they have released albums that touch on indie folk/rock, roots, art rock, alt country, psychedelia and pop, while maintaining a sound that is distinctly Blitzen Trapper. The band may have experimented successfully with a multitude of styles; however, the band has been built on a strong foundation as, above all else, a ROCK band. Their live shows consistently reinforce that fact, and those who have experienced their performance would agree.
