Fruit Bats - The Ruminant Band
out for glory on Sub Pop records (2009)
For his latest Fruit Bats release, Eric Johnson has assembled another solid group of merry men (including Califone's Tim Rutili and Jim Becker) to serve as studio band and help with production duties. It's fair to say that The Ruminant Band's lilting and country-tinged folk-rock doesn't ever stray from the sunny-days Americana sound found on previous Fruit Bats albums, but Johnson's comfort zone is a hugely pleasant one. I can't stop listening to this record. Start with the title track, "Primitive Man" or "The Hobo Girl."
