Paste Names Fruit Bats Among the Best of 2016

Paste Magazine has declared Fruit Bats‘ Absolute Loser to be one of “The 25 Best Albums of 2016 (So Far),” an accolade that puts Fruit Bats in the company of people like Kanye West, Sturgill Simpson, Beyoncé, and David Bowie. “The album, as cohesive and strong top to bottom as anything frontman Eric D. Johnson has made, gathers its sense of purpose from the sort of self-reflection and search for meaning that caused Johnson to put Fruit Bats on the shelf after 2011’s Tripper.”
In addition to praise, the feature includes an embedded video of the band’s recent performance at the Paste offices. Check it out here!
