Music Monday: Fruit Bats

I woke up with the song "When U Love Somebody" in my head this morning. The Fruit Bats have another, more recent, album, "Spelled in Bones" but "Mouthfuls" is my favorite.

They "are from Chicago, Illinois. The line-up is a bit nebulous, but revolves around Eric Johnson (guitars, keys, songwriting). Eric sings most of the leads, everybody else sings with him. The more observant amongst you might recognize Eric from his stint playing guitar and banjo with near-legendary folk weirdoes Califone, or as live multi-instrumentalist with Ugly Casanova and Sally Timms." - Sub Pop Records
