FRUIT BATS 'BABY MAN' LP
LABEL: Merge Records
VINYL RELEASE DATE: 09/12/2025
ORIGINAL RELEASE DATE: 2025
VARIANT: Black Vinyl LP
Baby Man, the new album by Fruit Bats, is like nothing else in Grammy-nominated songwriter
Eric D. Johnsonâs catalog. Little in the arc of his careerâincluding Fruit Batsâ evolution from
home recording project to rollicking roadshow, his solo output, and his work with Bonny Light Horsemanâpoints the way to this album, in which his only accompaniment, aside from the occasional blush of synthesizer, is a guitar, banjo, or piano. Save for producer Thom Monahan, reuniting with Johnson for the first time since Fruit Batsâ 2019 breakthrough Gold Past Life, itâs just Johnson in the room, meaning that when the turntableâs needle meets Baby Manâs groove, itâs just him and the listener, mutually in for a reckoning.
