Entertainment Reviews:
Rolling Stone - p.80
3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Trading low-fi ruggedness for gorgeous Americana pop, they conjure Dylan circa JOHN WESLEY HARDING and proggy ELO..."Spin
"Singer Eric Earley's fantastical yarns match the band's grandiose genre muddling..."Uncut - p.113
4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he 12 artfully crafted songs here suggest Blitzen Trapper should now be judged in the elevated company of Wilco, Brendan Benson and The Raconteurs."Alternative Press - p.122
With a piano that echoes like it's in a cathedral in 'Heaven And Earth,' Earley weds nature with humanity."CMJ
"Like that of many of the great blues-rock classics, such as Van Morrison, Muddy Waters or the Stones, Blitzen Trapper's structure is solid and very traditional."Billboard (p.32) - "Beatles-esque piano and string arrangements dominate the melancholy 'Heaven and Earth.' But it's the title track that best showcases Blitzen Trapper's ability to quickly shift musical gears."
Paste (magazine) - "[W]ith pristine harmonies set to late-60's psychedelic scuzz. The result is another opus-de-Americana washed in experimental folk-rock..."
Pitchfork (Website) - "[F]ull of haunting songs doused in harmonicas, saloon pianos and dusty guitars."
Clash (Magazine) (p.34) - Ranked #42 in Uncut's "The 50 Best Albums Of 2010" -- "[I]mmensely well-crafted Americana with a strong Beatles fetish at its core."
