Fruit Bats’ new album Baby Man finds Eric D. Johnson in his most intimate and expansive form yet. Accompanied only by sparse guitar, banjo, piano, and occasional synths, Johnson’s vocals take centre stage, breathing life into some of his rawest, most emotionally resonant songs. Produced by Thom Monahan, Baby Man is a minimalist-maximalist triumph—an album that redefines Fruit Bats’ sound, highlights Johnson’s songwriting brilliance, and marks a pivotal moment in his career.
