Today, Eric D. Johnson of Fruit Bats shares three performance videos from Icehouse in Minneapolis, fittingly dubbed “Icehouse Sessions.” Check out full-band Fruit Bats performing “Eagles Below Us,” “On the Avalon Stairs,” and “Complete” now.

All three songs can be found on The Pet Parade, Fruit Bats’ latest album from March 2021, hailed as “a deeply humane record, perhaps the most vivid in Johnson’s long career” by Uncut Magazine.

Pick up The Pet Parade on CD and LP in the Merge store, and while you’re there, pre-order the recently announced Fruit Bats 2-LP compilation Sometimes a Cloud Is Just a Cloud: Slow Growers, Sleeper Hits and Lost Songs (2001–2021), due January 28, 2022!

Fruit Bats have announced support for their 2022 tour dates, including Esther Rose, Vetiver, Johanna Samuels, Scott Hirsch, and more. A full list of shows can be found below.
