Free mp3: Blitzen Trapper Give Away Slice Of Forthcoming Album

• 13th Jul 2011

Blitzen Trapper are giving away a free download of the title track from their forthcoming album American Goldwing – out september 12th on Sub Pop Records.

A true piece of Americana, you can get your hands on it via the embed above.

American Goldwing is to be the sixth studio album from the Portland quintet, and their third for Sub Pop Records.

“American Goldwing is us letting our loves and early influences hang out for all to see. We entered into the sounds we grew up with – the hard guitar rock and country picking of our younger years mixed with glimmers of our usual space-aging technology and pawn shop Casios” explains vocalist Mark Earley. Continuing to bring their love for classic American rock'n'roll into the 21st century, this album is by Earley's own admission “heavy guitar riffs and blasting drum fills live side-by-side with plucking banjos, wailing harmonicas and muddy slide guitars. The earthiness of these songs will make you want to get loaded and get in a fight, or find a girl and fall in love forever, simultaneously.”
