    Boasting several of the strongest songs of his career, The Landfill is both warm and wistful. It stands as another impressive entry in the Fruit Bats’ catalog for longtime fans, but also as the perfect starting point for new listeners.

    When Johnson stretches his helium voice into a yearning falsetto in the chorus of "The Saddest Part Of The Song", it's as if Al Green has been transported to Walden Woods. Then, amid sultry grooves, he spins out a Newman-esque character study ("Silverfish In The Sink") and some Nilsson-esque Whimsey ("Fishin' For a Vision"). [Jul 2026, p.30]

    Mostly, though, The Landfill sounds like Johnson. Morning pages or not, his songwriting is as distinctive as the slightly nasal tone of his tenor voice, which carries these songs regardless of their instrumentation.
