There are numbers so vast they exceed the scope of human reckoning and concepts so immeasurable they surpass the capacity to understand. On their radiant new album, "100’s of 1000’s, Millions of Billions", Blitzen Trapper makes peace with the unknowable, surrendering themselves to forces beyond their control as they explore the infinite with a broad mind and an open heart.

Inspired by Earley’s fascination with Buddhist texts and meditation, 100’s of 1000’s Millions of Millions offers a captivating take on rebirth and transcendence, navigating its way through the space beyond dreams and reality, beyond gods and mortals, beyond life and death. The songs here are as sincere as they are surreal, rooted in rich character studies and deep reflection, and the production is intoxicating to match, blending lo-fi intimacy and trippy psychedelia into a mesmerizing swirl of analog and electronic sounds. Add it all together, and you’ve got a gorgeous collection of stripped-down bedroom folk wrapped in lush layers of synthesizers and washed-out electric guitars, a poignant, expansive exploration of perception and purpose that manages to look both forwards and backward all at once.
