Baby Man (LP)
Fruit Bats
Amoeba Review
Baby Man is the sparse, contemplative, and lovely new album from Fruit Bats. Eric D. Johnson takes his sound in another direction with this release, accompanied only by piano, guitar, or banjo (with the occasional synth flourish). The result is what he calls "minimalist maximalism" — a surprisingly appropriate description for these good old-fashioned barebones compositions with big, big emotional impact. Baby Man has a timeless sound with intriguing lyrical imagery and a real sense of the romance of simply being alive.
