Blitzen Trapper. Blitzen Trapper.

Blitzen Trapper are a Portland, Oregon band who have such unreal variety in the music that they put out that I've actually had to double take to make sure I'm still listening to the same band.  Sometimes that can be disconcerting to me, but in this case I have found myself more and more drawn to the depth it indicates.  I first was feeling them for their sweetly nuanced garage-sound but they offer so much more, too. Just go here and listen to the psychedelic, electronic garage-pop frenzy of 2007's Devils A-Go-Go.  Anyhow lately I am in to the folk-tradition of hearing a good story in a song so this is The Man Who Would Speak True off of their 2010 Sub Pop release Destroyer of the Void.  But be sure to listen to those other links so you get the multi-faceted-ness, too.
