Watch: Blitzen Trapper's Country-Western Epic

The boys in Portland, OR, band Blitzen Trapper may seem like the slacker-type with their tattered rags and aloof 'tudes, but these dudes are downright ambitious -- just check out their new music video, a Country-Western epic about an outlaw killer, complete with elaborate costumes and sets that move from open desert to a Jerry Springer-style talk show!

The video is for "Black River Killer," a country ditty off the group's latest album, Furr. And its story line adheres to frontman Eric Earley's dark narrative about a sin-prone cowboy, his dastardly deeds, and qualms with the "spirits that call his soul to sin."
