Blitzen Trapper
The clever story telling on Black River Killer has me wanting to go to the Rio Grande and stirrin’ up some trouble. The group’s ability to weave from O.G. twang rock to soulful funky 70’s sounds is almost like a reflex and doesn’t warrant an explanation for not sticking to one genre. The new album, Furr, will be released September 23 via Sup Pop and you can purchase the album here.

Speaking of Monolith, looks like they put up a video game for the inner gamer in you, and alongside, you get to bump to some jams from performers from the festival, i.e. Passion Pit, Dan Le Sac vs. Scroobius Pip, Hearts of Palm, Chain Gang of 1974 and more..
