Paste Details Fruit Bats’ The Landfill

Fruit Bats’ new album The Landfill, writes Paste, “is a multi-layered, often melancholy affair as Eric D. Johnson sorts through the comings and goings of life on the threshold of [turning 50].” Though the album, like last year’s Baby Man, came together quickly with Johnson using the stream-of-consciousness-inspired “morning pages” method, it is – unlike Baby Man – a full-band affair. According to Paste, “mostly, though, The Landfill sounds like Johnson. Morning pages or not, his songwriting is as distinctive as the slightly nasal tone of his tenor voice, which carries these songs regardless of their instrumentation.”
