I’ve been meaning to post the Fruit Bats for a while now because, well, because they’re as reassuring as a warm cup of tea. The acoustic guitar has a lovely lilt to it. The slight, overdubbed vocals don’t demand attention but get it anyway. And the alternately peppy and melancholy rhythms float on and on and on. All in all, you get the sense that the Fruit Bats respect their mothers, and a little motherly love in our indie pop could do us all some good.
Sharing the sharing.

I've been digging the fruit bats for a while now; fantastic little band. If you'd like to see it, I have a video for Lives of Crime posted here: http://shannon-palmer.com/blog/?p=21
These guys remind me of the shins… very mellow… I like it. It makes me happy. 🙂
