Portland, Oregon indie rockers Blitzen Trapper have announced the follow up to 2008′s Furr.  The new album Destroyer of the Void, will be released on June 8th, just in time for summer.  The album will be released on Sub Pop records and was produced by Mike Coykendall, who has also recently worked with Bright Eyes and M. Ward.

The band has released the first track from the album “Heaven and Earth”, and made it available for free download on their website. The track is a slow, piano tune that doesn’t do much in peaking my interest for the album.  But then again with the release months away, we wouldn’t want to much to soon.

The band also released their tour dates for this summer:
