    Blitzen Trapper, 'Black River Killer' -- Video Premiere

    Blitzen Trapper, the folk rock sextet hailing from Portland, Oreg., have filmed a video for 'Black River Killer,' a storytelling track from 2008's 'Furr.' The band's dark new video successfully illustrates the fugitive's tale told in the song, and it's also a first for the group.

    "'Black River Killer' represents not only our first attempt at a fully live action video, but also a massive collaborative effort on the part of at least 120 people in and around Portland," drummer Brian Koch tells Spinner. "The generosity and enthusiasm of everyone involved was overwhelming and humbling. Hopefully it is obvious when viewing the behind-the-scenes footage that the process of making this video was just so much fun."

    Check out the premiere of the final product, as well as the behind-the-scenes clip.
