Fruit Bats<\/a>, the rock project of singer\/songwriter Eric D. Johnson, is almost back. This Friday, Fruit Bats will release their 12th album, The Landfill. The band also kicks off its sprawling 2026 tour Thursday in San Diego, before hitting stops in the United States, Canada, and Australia through November.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ahead of the release of The Landfill, Fruit Bats have released two new singles. \u201cThink Aboutcha\u201d is a peppy, lightly psychedelic number right at home in the band\u2019s sneakily hooky discography. \u201cThat Goddamn Sun\u201d is a bit bluesier, with lush harmonies and flavors of Southern rock in its piano and acoustic guitar instrumentation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

You can listen to The Landfill in full on Friday, June 12. In the meantime, take a look at all the Fruit Bats\u2019 tour dates below, and relisten to their cover of Hall And Oats\u2019 \u201cOne On One\u201d for A.V. Undercover over here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n
