Editorial Reviews

Over the course of their four full-length albums to date, including their revelatory 2008 Sub Pop release Furr, Portland, OR's Blitzen Trapper have gained a growing international audience. The band's continuing exploration of American music has earned them notice ranging from Rolling Stone magazine to late-night network television to Yo Gabba Gabba. Destroyer of the Void takes Blitzen Trapper further than ever before, building on the band's seamless marriage of the familiar and the fantastic.

Just one great song after another. Yes, it's overall a bit mellower than some of their earlier stuff, but it still rocks in places and the quieter stuff absolutely shimmers. Although I can certainly hear what I imagine to be their influences (Beatles, Dylan, Petty...), they simply have great taste and in the end very much make it their own. Having seen them twice, I can also testify that they are a great live act with surprising power and raw energy. Plus they come across as nice sincere guys and they get excellent opening acts. Without a doubt, one of the best bands out there. Go ahead, become a fan.

I am loving this album! My favorite songs, so far, are "Destroyer of the Void," "Heaven and Earth," and "Sadie." It's not as heavy and raw as "Furr" was--and I really love "Furr." It's got a polished feel to it. Another reviewer noted that there are many slower songs on this album, which there are, but the sound is wonderful and the songs really showcase the band's talent. Love this band, love the new album.
