Our Take

Ah, the Fruit Bats - the band that always manages to sneak up on you like a cheeky squirrel in the park. Their latest release, "Sometimes A Cloud Is Just A Cloud: Slow Growers, Sleeper Hits And Lost Songs (2001-2021)," is a delightful mishmash of hidden gems and forgotten treasures.

As soon as you press play, you're transported to a whimsical world of folk-infused melodies and heartfelt lyrics. Each track is like a little musical nugget, waiting to be discovered and cherished. From the haunting nostalgia of "Cavetown" to the foot-tapping energy of "Supertonk," there's something for everyone in this album.

Lead singer Eric D. Johnson's voice is like honey dripping from a beehive - sweet, sticky, and impossible to resist. His lyrical prowess shines through on every track, weaving tales of love, loss, and everything in between.

But what really sets this album apart is its ability to surprise and delight at every turn. Just when you think you've got the Fruit Bats all figured out, they throw a curveball like the dreamy "Glinda" or the bittersweet "Tegucigalpa."

In conclusion, "Sometimes A Cloud Is Just A Cloud" is a testament to the enduring talent and charm of the Fruit Bats. It's a musical journey that will make you smile, make you cry, and make you grateful for every cloud - even if it's just a cloud. A must-listen for fans of indie-folk with a twist of lemonade.

About the artist

Fruit Bats

FRUIT BATS By the time FRUIT BATS hit the scene, the indie folk landscape was already saturated with bearded troubadours armed with nothing but an acoustic guitar and a heart full of feelings. But Eric D. Johnson, the mastermind behind this enigmatic project, brought something refreshingly different to the table. With a sound that effortlessly blends Americana, indie pop, and a touch of psychedelic whimsy, FRUIT BATS have carved out their own niche in the crowded music world. Johnson's distinctive vocals float effortlessly over lush arrangements, creating a sonic tapestry that is both comforting and exhilarating. Whether he's crooning about love lost, spiritual enlightenment, or the joys of a simple Sunday afternoon, there's an undeniable honesty to his songwriting that is hard to resist. But don't let the pastoral imagery fool you - FRUIT BATS aren't afraid to get a little weird. Their live shows are a testament to their playful spirit, featuring everything from impromptu cover songs to bizarre on-stage banter. Johnson's magnetic stage presence and quirky sense of humour make for an unforgettable concert experience that is equal parts intimate and absurd. With a discography that spans over two decades, FRUIT BATS have solidified their status as indie darlings and critical darlings alike. They may not be headlining arenas or topping the charts, but their music has a staying power that is undeniable. So whether you're a die-hard fan or a casual listener, it's time to hop on the FRUIT BATS bandwagon - trust us, you won't be disappointed.
