Raised in an intensely religious household, Joshua Tillman works the razor's edge of satire, popping oppressive and didactic bubbles wherever he finds them. His charismatic Father John Misty persona makes sharp, often orchestral psych-folk-pop that has garnered many a comparison to Harry Nilsson. Tillman's humor and contrarianism are powerful stingers when coupled with his thoughtful songwriting and arranging skills. You may find your own beliefs lampooned in his work, and you may even find yourself thanking him for it.
