Tiny Mix Tapes chats with Blitzen Trapper
Tiny Mix Tapes interviews Portland’s Blitzen Trapper, who cite literary works as some of their chief influences:
“I don’t buy records, but I listen to music because it’s everywhere. It’s all around us. That’s why I don’t really buy it. Because you can go wherever and someone’s always got music. There’s almost too much music. I think get most of my ideas from books. I feel like Wild Mountain Nation is a combination of Jorge Luis Borges, Zane Grey, Italo Calvino with maybe a little bit of Frank Herbert thrown in.”
