Fruit Bats - Gold Past Life Vinyl Record
Gold Past Life acts as the end of an unintentional thematic trilogy of records that began with 2014’s EDJ (a solo record by name, but a Fruit Bats release in spirit) and hit an emotional peak with 2016’s Absolute Loser. They encompass years of loss, displacement, and the persistent, low-level anxiety of the current political climate. They were written in the wake of friends who left these earthly confines and families that could have been. Johnson reflects on the strange, often beautiful & sometimes uncomfortable passage of time whilst channeling the classic pastoral sounds of All Things Must Pass, early (pre-disco) psychedelic pop-era Bee Gees & the unbelievable late 60s/early 70s run of Ray Davies & Harry Nilsson,
A range of guests contributes to the album including guitar wiz & much-buzzed songwriter Meg Duffy (Hand Habits), Greta Morgan (Vampire Weekend), Neal Casal (Circles Around the Sun), and more. The album also sees Fruit Bats’ working relationship with producer and engineer Thom Monahan (Neko Case, Devendra Banhart) hit its stride.
Shipping
Orders typically ship within two business days. Media Mail might be budget-friendly, but it travels at a glacial pace and gets little love from the postal service. For faster, smoother delivery, choose USPS Priority or UPS/USPS Ground.
Returns
Unopened returns accepted within 30 days — you cover shipping.
If your record arrives damaged or folded (thanks, postal service), reach out ASAP so we can fix it.
After 30 days, it’s yours to keep forever.
Avoid extreme heat or sunlight. Definitely don’t let it mingle with any Justin Bieber records. Treat it like your grandma — gentle, respectful, and quiet during Murder, She Wrote.
Hold up… what were we saying?
