“American Goldwing” ist der dritte Blitzen Trapper Release auf Sub Pop und das insgesamt sechste Album der Band selbst. Im Laufe ihrer Karriere haben Blitzen Trapper eine beeindruckenden Anzahl von begeisterten Reviews (vom Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, Spin und vielen anderen) eingesammelt, haben TV Auftritte absolivert, auf Festivals auf dem ganzen Erdball gespielt, unendlich viel getourt und eine nicht zu verachtende Anzahl von Platten verkauft.
Auf „American Goldwing“ stellen Blitzen Trapper ihre Vorlieben und Einflüsse – harter Gitarrenrock, Country Picking and Casio Keyboards vom Pfandleiher – ohne jegliche Scheu zur Schau. Singer / Songwriter / Gitarrist Eric Earley sagt, dass diese Platte den Wunsch erweckt, in der Dusche Biere zu exen, während man die Stones oder Joe Walsh (oder eben auch Blitzen Trapper) hört. „American Goldwing“ ist der erste Vorstoß in außenstehende Einflüsse während des Aufnahmesprozesses einer Platte. Abgemischt von Tchad Blake und Co-Produktion von Gregg Williams.
American Goldwing is Sub Pop’s third full-length release with Portland’s Blitzen Trapper and the band’s sixth full-length overall. Over the course of their career they’ve earned rave reviews (from Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, SPIN, and a whole lot more), played on television, appeared at festivals all around the world, done a staggering amount of touring, and sold a whole bunch of records. All of which is distinctly less interesting that what Blitzen Trapper singer / songwriter / guitarist Eric Earley has to say about the band’s new record, American Goldwing…
It’s us letting our loves, our early influences hang out for all to see. Entering into the sounds we grew up with, the hard guitar rock and country picking of our younger years mixes with glimmers of our usual space-aging technology and pawn shop Casio aplomb. Heavy guitar riffs and blasting drum fills live side-by-side with plucking banjos and wailing harmonicas, and muddy slide guitars that make you want to shotgun a beer in the shower while listening to the Stones or Joe Walsh. It’s also our first foray into direct, outside influence in the creation of a record. It’s me letting go in a certain way. I let Tchad Blake come in to mix this album, and my good friend Gregg Williams co-produced all these tracks.
When I sing, in the title track, “I know / I know / I’ll be staying if the wind don’t blow,” I’m seeking to invoke the unseen, the spirit that beckons you to saddle up that old 1980 Honda Goldwing, or your uncle’s beat up Ford Bronco, or that Jeep you somehow, and only barely, keep running and leave this lonely town behind, ‘cause that wind’s always blowing. I’m calling you to ride, to take those curves at speed and head for someplace better where love is true, whether that be into the depths of the galaxy or just to the next truck stop where the neon shines, and where the “company of strangers / and the close and the present dangers” are all that really matters."
