For those of you looking for another lonely chapter to the weariness and depressing sentiment of J. Tillman (Fleet Foxes ex-drummer), look elsewhere. Josh’s new project, entitled Father John Misty is brighter, more upbeat, and straight up hilarious. With lyrics like, “…Me tracing the expanse of your American back / With Adderall and weed in my veins / You came…I think,” you have wonder what happened from now and 2011’s I Will Return. But who cares? This new Tillman comes armed with hilarious stage banter and a certain charm that is much more inviting than anything he’s ever done. With a young Jenny O. (who sounded like a hybrid of Sea of Bees) in tow, Josh performed rare acoustic set at San Rafael’s TRI Studios. Here’s some of our captures. Enjoy.
