Furr, the fourth album from Portland, Oregon's Blitzen Trapper and their first for Sub Pop after three self-released records, came out in 2008, and it's a shaggy, shape-shifting thing: country, folk and rock tangled together in songs that sound like they were dug up out of the backwoods. Eric Earley's voice sits at the center, with founding drummer Brian Adrian Koch keeping it rolling.
The praise came from some high places. Rolling Stone ranked it #13 among the 50 best albums of 2008 and put the title track at #4 among the year's best singles, and Fleet Foxes' Robin Pecknold hailed "Lady On the Water" as a gorgeous, woozy folk song and Earley as a genius. "Furr" and "Black River Killer" both got videos. Sub Pop gave it a 10th Anniversary Deluxe Edition on September 14, 2018, with a bonus disc from the Furr era and an interview with Earley conducted by Rainn Wilson.
