For Folk’s Sake Digs Into The New One From Fruit Bats

For Folk’s Sake writes that “if ever an album was tailor-made for a road trip (and this road trip has to have the words ‘great’ and ‘American’ in its description), it’s Fruit Bat’s latest record, Gold Past Life.” In a review, the site praises the band’s Eric D. Johnson, who it says “has a uniquely inventive mind and a satisfyingly disarming songwriting approach.” For Folk’s Sake contends that “he songs are tight, and catchy, and charm is in abundance… The album flourishes in its vibrant singles and trans-American musings.”
