Fear Fun

Father John Misty

A psychedelic folk-rock reinvention filled with Laurel Canyon warmth and razor-sharp wit. The sound of a man finding his voice by burning his past to the ground.

April 30, 2012 · Sub Pop

A cynical yet sun-drenched romp through the wreckage of a self-imposed identity crisis.

The thunderous, tribal drum beat that kicks off Hollywood Forever Cemetery Sings, instantly distancing the artist from his folk past.
