Lean on Fruit Bats



The Ruminant Band is one of my favorite albums of the year. According to Sub Pop, they are "heralded and forward-thinking as Vetiver and The Shins," but I love the touches of soul, Motowny dance-hall guitar they have in songs like "Feather Bed" and "Blessed Breeze":

"I always you thought you never gave enough / But now there's too much love"

It's good to meditate with folk & blues. This month the Fruit Bats are in Texas, doing some nice little ruminations at Good Records (which I will be attending with big cow-bells on) and Waterloo in Austin, for you southerners.
