I'm glad this forum is still in use and bringing in new people. Yeah, Brian said they were tracking a new album last December, and I think the new EP is just a taste of that. I'm stoked. Have you ever seen them in concert before? </div> </article> <article> <h1>Grateful~Bled on Greetings Blitzen Folk!</h1> <p>2023-09-27T17:35:11-07:00</p> <div>Doing something I should have done a long time ago…joining this forum that I didn’t know existed until now. I’m not the most knowledgeable when it comes to this band’s full discography but when the mood strikes I go down deep holes. Hoping that as a full time Vermonter these days I’ll be able to see them on tour and am psyched to see they are going to drop some new music soon, according to someone on here. <br><br>I am sure that it’s better for the overall venues and sound at shows but I am absolutely shocked these dudes aren’t bigger than they are. They have so many bangers it’s ridiculous. Won’t be too long winded but just wanted to say high and hope to interact with some like minded.</div> </article> <article> <h1>J Love on East coast tour</h1> <p>2023-08-29T07:45:53-07:00</p> <div>More on new EP<br><br><a href="https://www.yeproc.com/blitzen-trapper-return-with-new-single-cheap-fantastical-takedown/">https://www.yeproc.com/blitzen-trapper-return-with-new-single-cheap-fantastical-takedown/</a><br><br><a href="https://blitzentrapper.bandcamp.com/track/cheap-fantastical-takedown">https://blitzentrapper.bandcamp.com/track/cheap-fantastical-takedown</a><br><br>New track sounds like it could have been on Holy Smokes (not an endorsement tbh).</div> </article> <article> <h1>fabarmadillo on East coast tour</h1> <p>2023-08-29T01:19:17-07:00</p> <div>"Cheap Fantastical Takedown" (the title track from the EP) just went up on Bandcamp <br>https://blitzentrapper.bandcamp.com/track/cheap-fantastical-takedown</div> </article> <article> <h1>fabarmadillo on East coast tour</h1> <p>2023-08-26T11:23:50-07:00</p> <div>Here's a full video I just found from the D.C. concert <br>https://www.youtube.com/live/AGs89Tdrj8A</div> </article> <article> <h1>Tylerb910 on East coast tour</h1> <p>2023-08-23T10:25:27-07:00</p> <div>Talked to Nathan at the D.C. show and he (and Brian) confirmed that the new tracks are just a taste of a new album!<br><br>p.s.

It includes Eric, Brian, Michael Elson, Anna Tivel, Nate Vanderpool. <br><br>Eric is going back to his earlier etherial sound even more. I feel like Holy Smokes Future Jokes is the undercurrent of his poppier music, and the songs here are a deeper and darker part of that same stream. Or like if you melted down HSFJ and there was more of it oozing between the layers. This EP makes me feel like I'm in a dusty old room at midnight with trippy red and purple lighting effects, and the walls are lined with creepy ceramic animal figurines that seem like they could fall, smash open and release ghosts at any moment.<br><br>Edit - oops, should've included the song titles -<br>Side A<br>Cheap Fantastical Takedown<br>Side B<br>Millions of Billions<br>Ghost & the Snakebite </div> </article> <article> <h1>Atty77 on East coast tour</h1> <p>2023-08-18T08:00:40-07:00</p> <div>Anyone know what this limited run vinyl consists of? </div> </article> <article> <h1>munkymufin1 on East coast tour</h1> <p>2023-08-16T17:11:53-07:00</p> <div>@fabarmadillo That would be amazing!

That is the one on your second list that I actually do have.</div> </article> <article> <h1>Jude on Black River Killer's first kill</h1> <p>2023-02-16T10:19:30-08:00</p> <div>I always thought the song was about an inability to adjust to normal life outside of prison, and that he didn’t kill the first girl. He then was driven to kill the second and third people by his time in prison. </div> </article> <article> <h1>DBooty on Too Kool</h1> <p>2023-02-14T13:00:06-08:00</p> <div>Thanks win!</div> </article> <article> <h1>fabarmadillo on Black River Killer's first kill</h1> <p>2023-01-16T10:22:11-08:00</p> <div>I'm curious how all of you folks interpret the first verse of Black River Killer. Because the narrator never tells us whether or not he committed the first crime. So, do you think he did kill her and was always simply driven to murder? Or, do you think he was falsely accused, and the rest of the murders are for revenge?<br><br>Edit: I should probably give context for why I'm asking this. It's because, for a decade, I just assumed he had killed her. Then I took BRK to a voice lesson, and when I tried singing it as the character, I realized he probably didn't. Has anyone else really thought about this??? It's wild, because it changes the narrator's motivations for the entire story. Which is something I think about a lot as a singer. (I have no idea what Eric actually intended.)</div> </article> <article> <h1>munkymufin1 on Too Kool</h1> <p>2023-01-08T18:58:04-08:00</p> <div>Thank you, winchuckster!

Unfortunately it hasn't been released, and the band members couldn't release it if they wanted to. Another entity owns the video and the rights to it, and it seems unlikely that they’ll release it.<br><br>Bummer.
