FATHER JOHN MISTY "fear fun" cd, 2012
albums...........1
singles............0
Joshua Tillman,ex-member of Fleet Foxes.....
this is his seventh solo set but the first under the name Father John Misty...
lots of folky tunes here, some things even border on country....
he sites Pete Seeger as his major influence, but i cant hear it in these tracks...
lots of lovely melodies,harmonies and music on this one...
not much of a seller anywhere,failing to make the charts and no singles lifted off it made it one of those forgotten/hidden treasures from 2012...
infact i'd not heard of this one until MH pointed out that it would be right up my alley...
not a great album by any means, but consistant in quality, and well worth seeking out if you like beautiful harmonies,melodies,acoustic sounds and real music!
"allmusic" rates this one 4/5, converted to a more than respectable 2.4 on the MHRS(msuic head rating system)
