<p>It&#8217;d be hard not to write about <a href="http://www.myspace.com/embarrassingfruitsband">Embarrassing Fruits</a> even if I didn&#8217;t love them.  That&#8217;s because several comments from <a href="http://www.songsillinois.net/2008/06/embarrassing-fruits-first-time-ep-captures-the-essence-of-sonic-youth-yo-la-tengo-superchunk/">my earlier review</a> of the band turned up in their new bio.  I was pleasantly surprised to read the other reviews of the band&#8217;s first EP.  Other reviewers came to the same conclusion I did and that was that the band updates the best of the early indie rock scene (Dinosaur Jr., Sonic Youth, Superchunk).  </p>
<p>Seeing that I gave them a rave review last time out I thought I&#8217;d pull some strings and get an exclusive song to share.  &#8220;Details&#8221; is an autobiographical tale of suburban teenagedom with references to 40&#8242;s, gravel roads, hanging out in parking lots, and soccer socks.  The song is a hazy, somber, and melancholy take on growing up featuring plenty of fuzzy guitars and misanthropic vocals.</p>
<p>The new record is called <em>Community/Exploitation</em> and is out on <a href="http://www.trekkyrecords.com/">Trekky Records</a>.  It&#8217;s highly recommended.</p>
