I heard
Hollywood Forever Cemetery Sings http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtOToiIDNRA&feature=share on the radio last week and loved it so much I couldn't wait for it to finish so I could find out who it was and get myself a copy. The song was by Father John Misty who is actually Josh Tillman, ex-Fleet Foxes drummer. I found that interesting because I am a HUGE Fleet Foxes fan, but this doesn't really sound anything like them.
It isn't just a case of another drummer suddenly thinking he can have a go at singing and songwriting either. Tillman was a singer and songwriter on the Seattle folk scene long before joining Fleet Foxes. And he has now made the decision to concentrate on this full time, having recently played his final show with the band in Tokyo.
The album, Fear Fun, will be released on 1st May.
