New Tunes at Two Monday 9/6: The Bamboos – Piece of Me

Surprise, anger, parenting and Lizzo: That's one way to sum up the list of the most engaging stories in 2019. Other big topics included consumerism and climate change — and officials behaving badly.

Eric D. Johnson, a.k.a. Fruit Bats, says this new album centers around a mountain from which one might take in a commanding view of one’s surroundings. “But the mountain that gives us this vantage point,” Johnson says in this case, “is made out of the trash that we’ve created, the collective weight of the past and where it’s taken us.” Thus, the foundation of this album’s name. The album was recorded with no click tracks, no comped vocals, and minimal overdubs, and with frequent collaborator Thom Monahan returning to provide additional production and The Landfill’s final mix.

Singer/songwriter Kaitlin Butts has been on the rise in Country/Americana circles lately, and this new album is inspired by Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Oklahoma! musical, to rather hilarious effect. “Every summer when I was a kid my parents would take me to see a performance of ‘Oklahoma!’ at a local amphitheater, and I’ve felt such a strong connection to it my entire life,” says Butts. “It’s a love story but there’s also a murder and a little bit of an acid-trippy feel to it at times; it’s set in the same place where I come from. Once I got the idea for this album I couldn’t believe I hadn’t thought of it before, and it turned into something that completely encompasses who I am and what I love.”
