Labelmates Torres and Fruit Bats have announced a collaborative EP, A Decoration, due on August 9 via their shared label home. Before that though, it gets an early limited edition vinyl release, available at the Merge 35 festival in July. That fest is also where Torres (Mackenzie Scott) and Fruit Bats (Eric D. Johnson) will actually meet in person for the first time, as they made this EP entirely remotely.
According to brooklynvegan.com, Fruit Bats said “Mackenzie and I worked on this in a breezy way where all ideas and sounds were fair game,” he continues. “We each brought a few sketches into the initial ideas pile and treated them in a way like we were doing remixes of each other’s songs. There were no wrong answers. The back and forth continued until the music was in a totally different place from where it began.”
Recently, Torres shared a new single and video “Wake To Flowers,” following up with a brand new track “Married For Love.”
