Father John Misty has had an amazing year with the release of his debut Fear Fun. The album stormed the airwaves peaking at #4 on the CMJ Top 200 and #1 on the FMQB charts, and led to mind-blowing performances like his recent KCRW's “Morning Becomes Eclectic” session. He and his wonderful live band have also captivated TV audiences with star-making turns on The Late Show with David Letterman, Last Call With Carson Daly, and covered The Flaming Lips "Do You Realize' for the AV Club’s "Undercover" series. He's delivered hilarious interviews with street people in Toronto for Chart Attack and a fake whiskey ad for Funny Or Die.   He's also unleashed wildly surreal videos for the songs, "Hollywood Forever Cemetery Sings" (starring Aubrey Plaza), "Nancy From Now On" and "This Is Sally Hatchet".   There's no stopping the magic of Father John Misty!!!

Fear Fun is now available on CD, LP, and digitally in North America via Sub Pop and in Europe via Bella Union.

What people are saying about Father John Misty:

“A mischievously warm collection of folky-indie rock bliss.” [#2/The Must List] – Entertainment Weekly

“A capitvating listen” [8/10] – Magnet

“Tillman varies things up on Fear Fun, reveals an adventurous palette, and makes what may be his best album to date.” -  Pitchfork

“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.” [8/10] – Prefix

“Casting himself as Father John Misty, a Laurel Canyon transplant equally repelled and fascinated by the self-centered 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

“It's clear from the start with the gorgeous opener, "Funtimes in Babylon", that Tillman's is a singular talent, and, thankfully, one that won't require much encouragement: "Look out Hollywood, here I come.” [8/10] – Under The Radar

 “Tillman soaks up the sounds, smells, and free-floating strangeness of his environment, and revels in its humanity.” – The Onion AV Club
