Fruit Bats - Absolute Loser

Fruit Bats is an American rock band formed in 1997 in Chicago, Illinois. Noted as an early entrant into the folk-rock boom of the early 2000s, the group has had many personnel changes but revolves around singer/songwriter Eric D. Johnson. Absolute Loser is the first album that Johnson has recorded under the Fruit Bats name since 2011's Tripper and it represents a triumphant return to name, form, and self. Despite implications, it's title refers to the furthest depths of loss itself, rather than the state of those who have lost something. It's the most honest, most confessional album of Fruit Bats' career.
