Blitzen Trapper: “Black River Killer”

Blitzen Trapper’s airy, folky album Furr has gained them respect throughout the indie world. With soft acoustic ballads and lyrics that tell tall tales, they created a world of their own–an Appalachian mountain range full of werewolves and the occasional demon-possessed murderer.

A few weeks ago, they also released a new video for the song “Black River Killer”–check it out below.

This song details the gritty and grim life of a backwater, country killer who let “the black river water wash me clean again.”
