Eric D. Johnson Tells Glide Mag About Fruit Bats’ Baby Man

In a 2025 interview with Glide Mag about his new Fruit Bats album Baby Man, Eric D. Johnson explained, ““It’s like a snapshot of a week in the life. With my other records, there might be songs I worked on for a year. But this one—I wrote and recorded everything in a week and a half. Some of the first lines were literally just things I said out loud. ‘This dog’s been barking outside my window every night.’ That was a sentence from life, and it became the first words of ‘Moon’s Too Bright.’” Read the full feature here.
