Summary: On this edition of World Cafe Words and Music from WXPN, host David Dye welcomes Father John Misty. In a departure from his work with Fleet Foxes and his solo singer songwriter catalog, Josh Tillman has taken the Father John Misty moniker for his powerful new rock project. The album, Fear Fun, is a World Cafe favorite of the year, with sardonic, very honest songs inspired by his relocation to Los Angeles from Seattle. In this interview, Tillman talks about some of the characters that appear in his music, and he explains how the record grew out of an attempt to write a novel.
