Labor Of Love

Descripción del producto The first time they ever made music together, Fruition's three lead singer-songwriters discovered that their voices naturally blended into beautiful three-part harmonies. In the eight years since that impromptu busking session, the Portland, Oregon-based quintet has grown from a rootsy, string-centric outfit to a full-fledged rock band with an easy but powerful grasp of soul, blues, and British Invasion era pop. On their new album Labor of Love, Fruition shows the complete force of their newly expanded sound, matching their more daring musicality with sophisticated, melody-minded song craft. The album subtly imparts the sense of being swept along on a journey, one reflecting an open-hearted spirit that sets in from the first notes of the dobro, mandolin and electric guitar driven title track, carries on to the sleepy soul of "Santa Fe," and unfolds into the epic balladry of "The Meaning." "A common theme for all three songwriters is trying to embrace being out on the road all the time, but also feeling like you're missing out on the everyday lifestyle that most people get to have," says Leonard. Embedded within that tension is a wistful romanticism that imbues many of the album's songs. "Most of the love songs are very much about those rare moments of getting to be with the people you love," says Anderson. "And then other songs are about coming back to the people you love, and trying to deal with the strange ways things change because of being apart." After releasing their debut EP Hawthorne Hoedown in 2008, Fruition moved from busking on the street, to scraping their way onto the lower levels of festival lineups, to opening tours for bands like ALO and Greensky Bluegrass and onward, to being invited to play bigger festivals with ever bigger billing on those lineups Review [Labor of Love is a] layered album - one that makes you feel both sad and exuberant, broken-down and found. --Relix MagazineThe group's most accomplished album yet, one that turns up the volume and embraces rock and soul influences next to the group's acoustic, Americana core. Ask anyone about Fruition, and mouths open with praise. --David Greenwald, The OregonianWith new album Labor of Love, the group is making a concerted effort to expand its reach, drawing from a wider palette of influences, from soul to pop, and nudging the volume upward. It's not about distancing themselves from the labels already ascribed to them. It's about making other people see them for the kind of band they've always thought they were --Matthew Singer, Willamette Week
