Description
What people are saying about Father John Misty’s Fear Fun:“A mischievously warm collection of folky-indie rock bliss.” [#2/The Must List]– Entertainment Weekly
“The record delights in this back-and-forth between light and dark, possibly a sonic manifestation of the City of Angels itself. As he’s working on a novel (“’Cause it’s never been done before,” Misty quips), his life erupts into a bluesy fever dream, name-checking the similar-minded Neil Young meltdown record On The Beach. 1970s musical touchstones pop up repeatedly, from bongos and acidic guitars to pedal steels and lilting acoustic melodies.”[8/10] –Prefix
“Casting himself as Father John Misty, a Laurel Canyon transplant equally repelled and fascinated by the self-centred sprawl of LA, his ‘Fear Fun’ is a country-leaning, wise-cracking masterwork.” [8/10] – NME
“It is a thing of madcap, mushroom-inspired Laurel Canyon genius, all done with a 1970s soft-rock smile.” [5/5] – The Independent
