Alternative country/folk band Blitzen Trapper have unveiled their new single “Masonic Temple Microdose #1.” The music video for the track, which can be seen below, was created by Endless Endless.

When discussing the song, vocalist Eric Earley stated:

“This song is about American apathy and the nihilism that emerges from the bogus idea that complete personal freedom should be man’s ultimate goal, when in fact man’s ultimate goal should be ecological balance, all things follow from this. Comedy and horror combine on this track, teenagers dropping acid in a masonic temple at the end of the empire, the American consumptive death-drive laid bare as a desire for extinction.”

The track stems from Blitzen Trapper’s forthcoming studio album Holy Smokes Future Jokes, which arrives on September 11 via Yep Roc Records. Physical pre-orders can be made on Yep Roc Records’ webstore while digital pre-orders can be made on Blitzen Trapper’s Bandcamp page.

Holy Smokes Future Jokes, which also features the single “Magical Thinking,” is the follow to the band’s 2017 studio album Wild and Reckless.
