Trapper Keaper

Inspired by the Buddhist sutras, Blitzen Trapper’s radiant new album, 100's of 1000's, Millions of Billions, offers a captivating take on rebirth and transcendence, navigating its way through the space beyond dreams and reality, beyond gods and mortals, beyond life and death. The songs here are as sincere as they are surreal, rooted in rich character studies and deep reflection, and the production is intoxicating to match, blending lo-fi intimacy and trippy psychedelia into a mesmerizing swirl of analog and electronic sounds. Add it all together and you’ve got a gorgeous collection of stripped-down bedroom folk wrapped in lush layers of synthesizers and washed out electric guitars, a poignant, expansive exploration of perception and purpose that manages to look both forwards and backwards all at once.

Ever wonder how everyone made it west? They used trails beaten by such men as Osborne Russell. In 1830, sixteen-year-old Russell left his farm in Maine and ran away to the sea. He didn’t like it. He ended up joining an expedition headed to Oregon by way of the Rocky Mountains.

Avete presente il rude fascino dei trapper, i mitici mountain man protagonisti di mille avventure? E la natura incontaminata e selvaggia delle Green Mountains del Vermont? Ecco, ora a questa ricetta aggiungete castori sabotatori, lepri infingarde, api assassine e valanghe birichine. Condite infine con il nostro Cico e avrete tutti gli ingredienti per una commedia esilarante, che vede “ai fornelli” Moreno Burattini, per la prima volta ai testi della collana, e un Francesco Gamba in stato di grazia: da leccarsi i baffi, garantito!
