Father John Misty - Fear Fun (2012)

I see you've made to direct several radio talk shows and Americans. I review one by one all the videos and promotional material is uploaded on him recently. No doubt: Father John Misty is just a role, a fun role that the former member of Fleet Foxes Joshua Tillman has been playing for some months. The purpose of this whole roll circus is clear: get to ensure the jump to stardom of a type that has finally managed to "Fear Fun" style the best LP of a long and extensive discography.
This new album is a delight. That folk so meticulous and transparent Joshua has peaked over the past years has managed to merge with a rock vocation dirtier and brighter than of yore. Hypnotically "Funtimes in Babylon" get captivated from the start with a halo as "western" we just convincing - at least temporarily - the current and neglected look of the singer was born as a consequence and not as an end.
The melodic 'Nancy From Now On' is the second single from a compact in which gleam comes into its own three issues that it will generate the envy of Robin Pecknold and the rest of former colleagues of Fleet Foxes. The first of these is 'Hollywood Forever Cemetery Sings', an eloquent hymn in Tillman's voice reaches a vibrant echoes that bounce to get points stratospheric. No doubt: it is THE song of the album.

The second is 'This Is Hatched Sally'; melody with a certain bartender with which Baltimore gets us closer to a slow and seductive dance paso doble (remember his bloody music video?). Nor forget the ballad 'OI Long to Feel Your Arms Around Me', where red passion gives way to a sad and melancholy atmosphere that fits perfectly in the gloomy galaxy introduced by the creator of "I Will Return".
If you are the records that tell of tortuous figures under discussion between drugs and love most savage and irrational, "Fear Fun" can be your disk. Give a listen and you will understand why J. Tillman has decided to create an identity - that of Father John Misty - who distances himself from the others by high doses of sarcasm, sourness and savagery.
