Blitzen Trapper: "Black River Killer" (Video)

2:59 p.m. · July 7, 2009 · by Andrew Winistorfer

This video for "Black River Killer" is Blitzen Trapper's first live action video, and since the song has a perfect narrative arc for a video (it tells the story of a murderer), they follow the song's lyrics in the video treatment. In the clip, the titular killer is seen stabbing a sheriff, wandering the American west, and serving as the subject of a talk show host's blustery show. It's a pretty great video for a pretty great song.

Blitzen Trapper's Furr is out now via Sub Pop.
