Fear Fun
Father John Misty is the nom-de-plume of Josh Tillman, who has been releasing solo albums since 2003 and who left Seattle's Fleet Foxes after playing drums from 2008-2011. <i>Fear Fun</i> consists of such disparate elements as Waylon Jennings, Harry Nilsson, Arthur Russell, and <i>Physical Graffiti</i>, often within the same song. Tillman's voice has never been better, while the music maintains a dark, mysterious yet playful quality. <i>Fear Fun</i> is Father John Misty's Sub Pop debut and was produced by Phil Ek (Modest Mouse, Band of Horses, Fleet Foxes).
