Fruit Bats go big and communal on The Landfill, a full-band record that sounds like old friends playing in one room, because that is exactly how it was made.
Eric D. Johnson has steered Fruit Bats since the late 1990s, and his previous album, Baby Man, was a largely solo affair written in quick, stream-of-consciousness bursts. Within weeks of finishing it, he carried that instinct to Bear Creek Studios in Washington with his longtime touring band: bassist David Dawda, guitarist Josh Mease, keyboardist Frank LoCrasto and drummer Kosta Galanopoulos.
They tracked much of the album together, with few overdubs and no click tracks, and you can hear it in the way the songs breathe and swell. Across "The Saddest Part of the Song", "Silverfish in the Sink" and "Hummingbird Sage", Johnson's lyrics wrestle with regret and longing while keeping one eye fixed on hope.
The title, which also names the closing track, comes from the landfill hills that rise out of the otherwise flat Midwest where Johnson grew up. He uses them as a vantage point, standing on a pile of personal and cultural history to see what comes next.
It is one of the warmest, most expansive records in the Fruit Bats catalog, raw at the edges and glowing in the middle.
