FATHER JOHN MISTY

Josh Tillman’s rocketing solo career has seen the former Fleet Foxes drummer become an unlikely Brit Award Winner.

The psychedelically inclined son of evangelical Christians, the Father’s makeup is powerfully echoed in the massive, swooning odes of this fourth album.

Is Father John Misty a persona where Josh reveals his innermost fears? The results are conspiratorial as Tillman is bleary-eyed on the pedal-steel stroked Please Don’t Die, and dazed, blitzed out and rousing on We’re Only People.
