We’ve always been strong supporters of J. Tillman here on Captain Obvious. He was one of our first interviews on the blog and has consistently released compelling material. A few years ago, Tillman became the drummer for it-band Fleet Foxes, which surely helped garner more attention for his solo work. Recently Tillman announced his departure from Fleet Foxes to pursue other projects and a lovely duet with Phosphorescent entitled “I Would Love You” surfaced under the name Father John Misty. Set for a May 1st release on Sub Pop, Fear Fun will be Tillman’s first album under the new moniker. Now you can hear the first single off the upcoming album: “Hollywood Forever Cemetary Sings,” a catchy Neil Young-esque psych-rock ditty sure to build some significant buzz. Mark it as one of our most anticipated releases of 2012. – Capt. Obvious
