Blitzen Trapper shares “Requiem,” the fourth track from their Yep Roc Records debut, Holy Smokes Future Jokes, out September 25th.
FLOOD, who premiered the track, noted: “Blitzen Trapper find ways to stay positive. On their new single… the group uses country music as a vessel for persistence through difficult times.”
Frontman/lyricst Eric Earley says the song is, “A song about enduring love and, though not entirely apparent, a song about the earth as it rolls, or maybe more generally life itself, its capacity to weather large scale extinctions and climate shifts. A weird kind of love song with culty vibes to the endurance of sentience above and beyond mankind.”
The song can be streamed now on YouTube:
