It’d be hard not to write about Embarrassing Fruits even if I didn’t love them. That’s because several comments from my earlier review of the band turned up in their new bio. I was pleasantly surprised to read the other reviews of the band’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).
Seeing that I gave them a rave review last time out I thought I’d pull some strings and get an exclusive song to share. “Details” is an autobiographical tale of suburban teenagedom with references to 40′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.
The new record is called Community/Exploitation and is out on Trekky Records. It’s highly recommended.
