A smidge over a year since the release of their 10th studio LP A River Running Through Your Heart, Fruit Bats, the project of Eric Johnson (who is the sole member, but not always solo performer), release the Starry-Eyed, In Stereo live album, compiling select tracks from their 2022-2023 performances.
That's out today via Merge Records (see links below), but Eric will also be holding a listening party at 3pm EST / 12pm PST over at Bandcamp. Hear the album in full with Johnson and other fans, along with commentary, chit-chat, and more on the text thread on the side.
The FREE listening party link is here, RSVPs are appreciated but not required.
