Spectrum Culture Praises The Refinement Of Fruit Bats’ New LP

With the singer’s vocals to the fore and a breeziness to the tunes,” Spectrum Culture writes about the new Fruit Bats album, “The Landfill takes captures the personal and immediate nature of the work. Even so, it never sounds tossed-off; the sort of refinement fans would expect from Eric D. Johnson persists… The Landfill feels like the marker of a new era. Johnson continues a new approach to his craft, and the process suits the material well. Rarely has a trash pile been so appealing, but it’s all a matter of where you’re standing.” Read the review here and spin the album today.
