Album: Father John Misty, Fear Fun (Bella Union)
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.If you're going to quit your day job as drummer in the world's premier folk-rock band, you'd better have something special up your sleeve.
Fortunately for J Tillman, what he left Fleet Foxes to do turns out to be as panoramic as that band is parochial. Fear Fun is the kind of album that can name-check Sartre, Heidegger and Neil Young in the same song. It is a thing of madcap, mushroom-inspired Laurel Canyon genius, all done with a 1970s soft-rock smile.
