We are so happy to report that 2000s indie rock darlings Fruit Bats have a new album on the horizon. Baby Man (due Sept. 12 via Merge) finds Fruit Bats’ main man Eric D. Johnson in solo mode. Accompanied by either a guitar, banjo, or piano—his new music is spare and affecting. Start with “Stuck In My Head Again” to experience the full range of Johnson’s voice and his raw emotive powers. Catch Fruit Bats (solo) on Friday, Oct 17 at Pico Union Project.
