Blitzen Trapper is one of the Pacific Northwest’s more eclectic indie roots-rock bands. Instead of honing a single vision like Fleet Foxes, the Portland outfit hops from genre to genre, all the while maintaining their twin loves: arty bombast and sharp, power-pop hooks. It’s an aesthetic that immediately calls to mind the classic Move-E.L.O.-Wizzard axis: With each successive album, singer and songwriter Eric Earley’s tunesmithing grows more varied and confident, a modern-day Roy Wood in terms of rapid transformation.
