Fruit Bats Give You Well Crafted Alt-Country

Fruit Batshas long been the project of Eric Johnson, but it has been some time since we’ve heard any new music from the outfit. Today, that changes with the video/song below. It’s a simple track, with clean acoustic guitar lines that meander through the song, giving the song a tone of melancholy, but with an uplifting undercurrent that slowly creeps in. It’s a great bit of alt-country that will provoke repeated listening and excitement for what else Fruit Bats has in store for you.

“Absolute Loser,” is an absolute winner, and is also the title track from the band’s upcoming full length release. It’s out May 15th via Easy Sound Recording Co.
