“Furr” by Blitzen Trapper

"Furr" is the song Blitzen Trapper's fourth album takes its name from, an alt-country-leaning set that Sub Pop released in 2008, and it went out as one of the record's two singles, "Black River Killer" being the other. Both got music videos.

Rolling Stone gave the song a spotlight of its own, slotting it at number four in its rundown of 2008's 100 best singles; the album came in 13th on the magazine's list of the year's 50 best. Sub Pop kept faith with the record a decade on: in 2018 it put out a deluxe edition for the 10th anniversary, with a second disc of bonus material from the era of the original sessions and tour, seven tracks of it never released before, and a booklet interview with Eric Earley conducted by the actor Rainn Wilson.
