FATHER JOHN MISTY – Emotive Crooner Has His 6th LP ‘MASHASHMASHANA’ Out
24 November 2024
American singer-sonwgriter Joshua Michael Tillman (43) aka FATHER JOHN MISTY
was a member of dream pop ensemble Fleet Foxes as their drummer from 2008
until 2012.
In between, he released solo work as J.Tilman with no less than 8 LPs between 2003
and 2010. Afterward, he changed his artistic name to the one all of his fans know.
Now he has released his 6th LP, called MASHASHMASHANA as Father John Misty.
Uncut says: “This is another set of brilliant, beautiful, occasionally
frustrating songs themed around ideas of ending and death.”
The album artwork was designed by artist Joe Roberts. Its title refers to the
Sanskrit word Mahāśmaśāna (महाश्मशान), meaning ‘great cremation ground‘.
FJM: “It’s an experiment in seeing what happens when I erase myself from
my work and Mahashmashana is definitely work about erasing myself”
He’s a crooner at heart,
an emotive romantic,
an inspiring poet
a great songwriter.
