FATHER JOHN MISTY: Hollywood Forever Cemetery Sings
I had the pleasure to attend All Songs Considered Live Summer Tour’s date at Living Room tonight. It was a treat to see all my former cohorts—some of which I now think of as favorite uncles—as was all the free Goose Island.
Much like the regular podcast, this live spectacle jammed some new, divine sounds into my aural awareness. Among those I made note of was Father John Misty.
Josh Tillman, former drummer of Fleet Foxes (a band for which I could never muster many feelings one way or the other), heads this project from somewhere along the west coast. It kind of sounds like the dude is losing his mind post-FF, according to one of the night’s panelists, WFUV’s Alisha Ali… but judging from these sounds, I’m not convinced that’s such a bad thing.
Father John Misty released a full-length called Fear Fun on Sub Pop back on May 1, something I missed BECAUSE I AM AN IDIOT. Clearly. If you share similar dum-dum qualities, feel free to catch back up and order the album o’er hurr.
