Fruit Bats is an American indie rock band that was founded in 1997 in Chicago, Illinois. Originally starting as a four-track recording project by songwriter Eric D. Johnson, the band has evolved into a touring act with a constantly changing lineup. With their unique blend of indie folk and rock, Fruit Bats have become a staple in the music scene.
Since their inception, Fruit Bats have captivated audiences with their heartfelt lyrics and infectious melodies. Their music resonates with listeners, offering a refreshing take on indie rock. With each album release, they continue to push boundaries and explore new sonic territories.
Whether you're a long-time fan or new to their sound, exploring the discography of Fruit Bats is sure to be an enriching experience. Don't miss out on the opportunity to discover this incredible indie folk-rock act that has made waves in the industry for over two decades.

Tripper, the Fruit Bats' 2011 follow-up to The Ruminant Band, is more
pared down, with bandleader Eric Johnson doing most of the legwork
himself.

Synthesizers and keyboard loops replace the knotted guitars. Atmospheric
washes of sound replace the sunny, straightforward hooks. On songs like "The
Fen", instruments replace vocals entirely, sounding more like a clip from an
orchestral movie soundtrack than the work of a rock band. 

The majority of the
work was done by Johnson and producer Thom Monahan, resulting in a layered
sound that stacks overdubbed harmonies onto combinations of pump organ,
found sounds, acoustic guitar, and various bleeps and bloops. 

Whether he's
working alone or leading a full lineup, though, Johnson knows his way around a
good pop hook, the best songs are rooted in catchy, sunny melodies
that shine through their heavy wrapping paper. Proof that Johnson knows how to
stretch his legs without losing his balance.&nbsp;
