Fear Fun

Father John Misty

These songs for me are so well written and soulful, beautifully sung and produced in an immediacy that feels like things are actually happening. A lot gets said about fjm lyrics but his melodic prowess is at full force here with melody lines that drip like milky piano notes. Lyrically it’s a focused vision that tells the story of mediocrity in a very human way whilst elevating the same ol’ tired archetypes and eternal truths to the modern predicament.
