Blitzen Trapper + America = best friends forever! The woodsy Portland crew love their home country so much, they’re going to tour all over it forever in support of Destroyer of the Void (TMT Review) on Sub Pop. Those fellows have even announced the tourdates to prove it, as you can clearly see below. Now, I know what you’re going to say. You’re going to say something about this tour being only a few months long and how that’s just a wee bit shorter than forever. I see why you’d say that, but I have to respectfully inform you that you are incorrect. See, I have reliable word from someone in the Blitzen Trapper camp that they have a very, very, very, very rare version of the Oxford English Dictionary. Said dictionary boasts a long-forgotten definition of “forever” that reads “I don’t know, a couple months or so.” See, Blitzen Trapper: smarter than you.
