Fruit Bats blurs the lines of love and heartbreak on new single, “Think Aboutcha”
Fruit Bats — the moniker of singer-songwriter Eric D. Johnson — has shared "Think Aboutcha", the second single from his upcoming album, The Landfill.
"Think Aboutcha" arrives after lead single and title track "The Landfill" as the latest preview of his collection of songs inspired by the personal, emotional, and cultural history associated with Johnson's Midwestern upbringing.
Speaking about the song, Johnson explains: “‘Think Aboutcha’ is a song about a preoccupation that has made its way into many of my lyrics: the liminal space in a dream where memories and love and heartache blur into a psychedelic haze. It was recorded live at Bear Creek Studios on a rainy spring day in Washington State. It pretty much sounds like how we sounded playing in that beautiful barn that day, save for a few tiny overdubs and mix magic.”
The Landfill is released on 12 June via Merge Records
