Consequence of Sound Reviews Fruit Bats, Who Debuted at #21 on CMJ This Week!

In its recent review of Absolute Loser, Consequence of Sound says the new Fruit Bats LP “brings the best of Fruit Bats’ diverse discography together… [with a] mashup of every bit of their journey: the stunning harmonies, [bandleader Eric D.] Johnson’s voice ringing out, evocative stories, and an immediately nostalgic sound.” Reviewer Sarah Brooks praises the record for its strong songwriting and production that is adept at “beautifully framing folk ballads that resonate and resonate.” As a whole, she writes, the album “serves to remind us that Fruit Bats have grown their sound, cultivated it, broken it, and rebuilt it, yet the core remains the same.” Read the review here.
