Blitzen Trapper (alternative, country, indie, pop, favorite song)

I don't really know who to compare them to, they kind of remind me of the Shins, sort of with some hints of Of Montreal. I got their album Wild Mountain Nation and i'll upload it if anyone wants it. Futures & Folly is my favorite song.

Recommendations:
Futures & Folly
Wild Mountain Nation
The Green King Sings

I wouldn't call it an influence but they sound similar to shit like Suffer For Fashion in parts.

Saw them live, nothing to get crazy about. Their album has been getting some hype - good fo' them.

They're about as okay as a band can get. Not great, not awful, but okay.

From Insound :"Think of the eccentrically catchy pop of Portland’s Blitzen Trapper as a strange cross between the harmonies of The Shins, the hootenanny country of O’Death and the fanciful wonder of Panda Bear. Throw in some Grateful Dead and Big Star too. Recommended."
