The Record Dept. Visits The Landfill

Record Dept. writes, “After 25 years of Fruit Bats records, Eric D. Johnson has arrived at an appealing middle ground between the intimacy of 2025’s Baby Man and the collaborative energy of his full-band work. The Landfill sounds lived-in rather than meticulously constructed, and that looseness gives its melodies and lyrics room to breathe.” Read the full review of the album, which is at radio now from Merge Records, here.
