One More From Fruit Bats

Leave a comment

The upcoming release of the new Fruit Bats album Gold Past Fast Life is steadily approaching and I have personally renewed my love of the band these past couple of months. Growing my reawakening is this new single, and title track of the album “Gold Past Life”. This is truly Fruit Bats at their very best. Eric D. Johnson is crooning away with his shrill vocals over some jangly guitars and the best Americana, indie folk/pop sounds money can buy. You’ll want to pick up this album when drops on June 21st via Merge Records.

Another New EDJ Track

edjEric D Johnson  asks you not to expect the traditional happy songs he’s penned with Fruit Bats.  He promises that this set of songs for his EDJ project will be a little bit more reflective, a little bit more solemn.  You can grab those emotions from this latest track, as the pace is quite calm, and he seems extremely careful with the way he delivers his vocal parts.  Of course, even with a somewhat darker subject matter, there’s still that underlying pleasantry that you’ve come to associate with his work.  You’ll get  a chance to hear what he’s been up to when Easy Sound releases his self-titled work on August 5th.

New Music from Eric D Johnson

Leave a comment

edjWe loved the work of Fruit Bats, so it only makes sense that we’re following closely the path of the band’s Eric D. Johnson.  Press release says that he acknowledges that these are not the happy songs that most people might associate with his writing, but I still find that there’s a brightness to what he’s creating.  I love the way his voice rises up, meeting the notes he’s crafted at each turn; it’s one of the staples of his songs that we’ve adored for some time. He’ll release a new album under the EDJ moniker on Easy Sound on August 5th.
