Relix Features Fruit Bats

“Nearly 25 years after Fruit Bats played its first show,” Relix observes, “Eric D. Johnson has zeroed in on his mission through Baby Man—not to release an instant classic, not to seek anything, really, just to accept what comes, remain present and express himself the best he can.” The site has a nice interview feature with Johnson about the new album, “maybe the purest distillation of what has long made him such a beloved figure in the often overlapping universes of folk and indie-rock. And it’s filled with songs that echo between the chambers of your heart and a voice that could stop you in your tracks.” Check that out here; Baby Man is at radio from Merge.
