Matthew and Eleanor are also working on the Fiery Furnaces “Silent Record:” a non-record record, in book form, with notation and instructions. It might be called something like Your Cashier Today was ACM CASHIER 96. The band is very optimistic-despite or because of it all-and will continue its “Democ-Rock” efforts by releasing a fully-fledged Derocmacy in America limited edition vinyl box-set. That is pop music's promise and problem, or danger. It's provided by the lives of the people who use-listen to-the music.

Because-ideally-the dramatic setting of the music isn't provided by the story or image of the given act or band. So we hope that some of the songs on this record can be used as theme songs to folk's own personal versions of Taxi. And since the times are tough, it makes sense to have that “drama” be something more like a version of Taxi than something like a version of Titanic. Quote All rock music is a sort of dramatic music.

In November 2013 Johnson announced he would be dissolving Fruit Bats. Fruit Bats' 2003 song 'When U Love Somebody' was featured in the film Youth in Revolt, and was later covered by The Decemberists.

They played at festivals such as Sasquatch Festival, Bonnaroo Music Festival, and Le Guess Who, and made TV appearances on Last Call with Carson Daly and The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. Fruit Bats would become part of Sub Pop's early 2000s folk-rock boom and record four albums for the label, with Johnson being the only constant over many lineup changes. It was on tour with Califone that he befriended the members of Modest Mouse and The Shins, who took an interest in Fruit Bats and made an introduction to Sub Pop records. In 2000 he became a member of the experimental folk-rock group Califone. At the time he was an instructor at Chicago's Old Town School of Folk Music, and fronted a band called I Rowboat. Johnson formed Fruit Bats as a solo 4-track project in the late 1990s.
