How To Make Mistakes, Fruition’s first studio album in four years, showcases a reinvigorated group at the peak of its powers. This is American roots music at its broadest and boldest: a melting pot of rock, soul, folk, and pop, co-produced by the bandmates themselves and tracked entirely live in the recording studio. What began as a busking string band has evolved into something more eclectic, rooted not only in the unique delivery of three different singers, but also the cohesion of five friends who prefer their music to be homegrown and honest… mistakes and all. From folk-rock anthems to campfire ballads, How To Make Mistakes embraces the full spread of the band’s past and present, mixing unplugged instruments with electrified arrangements. The result is an all-encompassing sound suitable for arenas one minute and front-porch picking parties the next — the sound of a band rededicating itself to the long haul, one song at a time.
