Still, when an album is as effortlessly warm and pretty as this one is, it's hard to begrudge the band a return to more familiar sonic pastures, and even more so when Mouthfuls suggests that the Fruit Bats' next album will be even more winning.

Toward the end of Mouthfuls, the Fruit Bats return to the country-folk fusions of Echolocation, and while they're still very pretty, they don't quite capture the imagination the way the album's earlier, more experimental tracks do. Fruit Bats Mouthfuls Rar DOWNLOAD: > fruit bats mouthfuls. From beginning to end, Mouthfuls radiates laid-back contentment, but it's to the band's credit that this vibe rarely dips into laziness or complacency, even on relatively simple pastoral interludes like "Track Rabbits." Actually, there's a lot going on within the album's serenity, especially on tracks like "Union Blankets," which features an intricate mix of programmed and live percussion underneath its strummy acoustic guitars and close harmonies, and on "The Little Acorn," which begins as a drifting, Radar Brothers-esque ballad before adding sparkling synths and soft rock-inspired backing vocals.

The lilting vocals and bittersweet harmonies on "Rainbow Sign" and "Magic Hour" call to mind the Fruit Bats' labelmates, the Shins, although the Fruit Bats' brand of summery, psych-tinged pop is much mellower.

Most of the songs have sunny, winding melodies and arrangements that twist and turn until they end up in a completely different place than where they began "A Bit of Wind" starts out as a simple, jangly singalong and gradually adds a brass band, strings, and flutes until it becomes a sweeping pop symphony. The limited edition vinyl reissue of Mouthfuls is out now via Jealous Butcher Records.On Mouthfuls, the Fruit Bats tone down the twang of their debut, Echolocation, and offer something closer to a mix of late-'60s/early-'70s folk and bubblegum shot through with unpredictable electronic elements that, paradoxically, make the group's music seem even more homemade and organic. Fruit Bats Mouthfuls (INDIE EXCLUSIVE) (Vinyl) Catalog : LP-JBR-0109X Artist : Fruit Bats UPC : 843563126622 Label : Jealous Butcher Records Street Date : Description Around the making of Mouthfuls, Fruit Bats had coalesced into a duo with Gillian Lise and myself. More to come (from a different angle) soon. I know artists always say this but, seriously, thanks for listening, it has been amazing sharing this stuff with you. This means that these shows next week will be our last (though I think we might plan some kinda epic last gig in Chicago one of these days, but that is to be determined)… So come on out and blow us a kiss goodbye.

I mean, Fruit Bats has always ostensibly been a “solo” project, so this is just the start of chapter two, really… But anyway, new music from me still! More on that soon, so please don’t lose touch. Plus I’ll still write songs and make records and play shows, which will scratch any Fruit Bats itch that you’ve got. I’ve been fortunate enough to start scoring movies and producing bands and I’m super excited to continue on with that. It’s been a long run and time for a change. Especially since I don’t even understand any of that stuff. There is no major or dramatic reason – I’m not gonna launch into one of those “the changing face of the music landscape in the digital age,” things. So, after 13 years, 5 albums, bunch of tours, and lots of laughs, Fruit Bats is calling it a day. Read Johnson’s goodbye note, which promises new music under a new name, below.
