Turning into quite a day for new music… following tunes from Fontaines D.C., The Murder Capital and Cass McCombs, we’re delighted to discover news of a new album, Holy Smokes Future Jokes, and single, Magical Thinking, from longstanding MM stalwarts Blitzen Trapper.

The track is a lovely slice of gentle Americana, a ruminative and lyrical meander around life and death that is deftly, and delicately, handled.

A wrathful deity, lit a cigarette beneath a tree
And then he cast his shadow long
On the house where you were young
On a street in a town that’s gone

Have a listen. Pre-order the album here.
