In 2008, Portland, Oregon rock band Blitzen Trapper released their third album, FURR. An immediate critical and financial success, FURR landed the band in year-end top 10 lists and a feature in Rolling Stone. Now, for the first time ever, comes a deep dive into what makes FURR one of the best albums of the 00s. Kevin Quigley's THE SOUND SENT SHIVERS DOWN MY BACK explores songwriter Eric Earley's obsessive construction of the record - written and recorded while Earley was homeless - the themes and styles that make FURR unique, and the exciting backdrop of Portland's emerging and unusual music scene. As indie label SubPop gears up to release its 10th anniversary edition of Blitzen Trapper's seminal album, THE SOUND SENT SHIVERS DOWN MY BACK is its perfect companion.
