Review

Echolocation is the debut album from Fruit Bats. Imaginary pop hits about the unsettling nature of the great outdoors, murderous fireflies and vengeful pigeons. Imagine Eno and Elton John wrecking a campfire sing-along. Timeless sounds finding the calm in absurdity. Echolocation creates a world where gentle harmonies and subtle guitars frame lines like "arms ripped off by shooting stars". Mandolin and marimbas lead into a chorus where “ The light refracts through the glass in your feet". Dirty country fiddles bend into synthesizer lines and icebergs into garlic fields. Where perfect falsetto pop mixes with images of urban writer's block and Vikings high on mushrooms all in the same song. It's sexual, space age country music about seeing the beauty in natural disaster. It makes perfect sense. It shouldn't but it does.

Songwriter/ Fruit Bats mastermind Eric Johnson has worked as a tour guide in a model home, adventure footwear salesman, pizza delivery driver/ assistant manager and spent the last few years as a banjo teacher at Chicago's Old Town School of Folk Music. He also plays guitar, casio and banjo in Califone.
