Blitzen Trapper - 100's Of 1000's, Millions Of Billions [CD]

2024 release. Inspired by the Buddhist sutras, Blitzen Trapper's 100's of 1000's, Millions of Billions album offers a captivating take on rebirth and transcendence, navigating it's way through the space beyond dreams and reality, beyond gods and mortals, beyond life and death. The songs here are as sincere as they are surreal, rooted in rich character studies and deep reflection, and the production is intoxicating to match, blending lo-fi intimacy and trippy psychedelia into a mesmerizing swirl of analog and electronic sounds. Add it all together and you've got a gorgeous collection of stripped-down bedroom folk wrapped in lush layers of synthesizers and washed out electric guitars, a poignant, expansive exploration of perception and purpose that manages to look both forwards and backwards all at once.
