Portland country/folk outfit Blitzen Trapper will return with their seventh album, appropriately titled Seven, on October 1st via Vagrant Records. The follow-up to 2011’s American Goldwing is previewed with the band’s rollicking, reflective new cut, “Ever Loved Once”. A buzzing harmonica accompanies precise little banjo plucks, as frontman Eric Earley wonders whether an old love — no matter how much time has passed — can still produce new sparks. Listen below (via Rolling Stone).
Blitzen Trapper have also announced a batch of new fall tour dates, which you can peep below.
