2. Father John Misty - Fear Fun
Father John Misty is the nom de plume of J. Tillman. He has put out a number of solo works under his own name and has also been the drummer for Fleet Foxes. His parents wanted him to be a pastor, and you can hear this influence in many of these songs. I had the good fortune of seeing him live this year and his flamboyant style took me aback, but it was a lot of fun at the show. You can check out the awesomeness on the SS Coachella video below. This album never left my rotation and I never tired of listening to it. Exceptional lyrics, tight pop songs with a hint of folk and 70's psychedelia. Father John left Fleet Foxes and quit producing his solo records because he was bored of the music and decided he wanted to write a novel. Instead, he wrote this album and you can hear meta references to that subject all through it. He is also incredibly well read and has a library of which to be extremely jealous. You can call me Nancy.
