KLOF Previews Fruit Bats’ Upcoming LP

KLOF Magazine is previewing Fruit Bats’ upcoming album The Landfill, sharing the titular advance single and giving the story behind the record. The site explains, “The experience of making [the 2025 LP] Baby Man — with its stream-of-consciousness writing and near-immediate captures — unlocked something in Eric D. Johnson’s process. Within weeks of completing that solo album, he took the band to Bear Creek Studios in Washington to apply the same instinctive approach in a fully collaborative setting. The sessions prioritised chemistry over polish: few overdubs, no click tracks, performances captured largely in real time.” Read more here.

“The Landfill” is at radio now, with the full album expected from Merge in June. See Fruit Bats on tour later this year:
