Fruit Bats’ New LP Doesn’t Disappoint A Pessimist
On Baby Man, writes A Pessimist Is Never Disappointed, Fruit Bats’ Eric D. Johnson “has sacrificed volume for a little more intimacy… On first listen, the starkness threw me. However, after playing this a couple of times, subtle pleasures would reveal themselves, like an acoustic guitar hook, or a hint of strings adding emphasis behind Eric D. Johnson’s voice. This might be the simplest Fruit Bats album in quite some time, but that doesn’t mean it’s not wildly affecting, and utterly lovely. Highly recommended.” Read more here, and get the delicate set on your airwaves now.
