Blitzen Trapper’s new video is killer

Tuesday, July 7th, 2009 | musiX, pdX

Those busy-bodies in Blitzen Trapper are working on the follow-up to last year’s brilliant Furr (you’ll recall the album made No.1 on TDoL’s 2008 year-end list), while at the same time touring and making new music videos. The band filmed the video for “Black River Killer” a couple of months ago, recruiting a gaggle of Portlanders to take part in the shoot (Hint: They’re the ones in the creepy masks). It was directed by Daniel Elkayam and follows the narrative of a lawless man who gets away with murder (sort of) again and again and again and … it’s really well done.

The video debuted today at AOL Spinner, and now it lovingly gets regurgitated here for you, the TDoL reader.

Yes! Even if I wasn’t already stoked on BT, I probably would be due to this video. I like how nearly everything in it - save for the masked gallery of onlookers - takes pretty literally from the song but the camera keeps moving so you’re not ever sure what will occur next.
