#53 Father John Misty - "Bored In the USA"

Father John Misty is J. Tillman, former drummer for Fleet Foxes and Rockville, MD native. If his being in Fleet Foxes is a deterrent let it be known that FJM is much more entertaining (and even humorous) than the Foxes. His second solo album in the last 2 years will be out in 2015 and he gave us a taste in November with "Bored in the USA".

Listening to Tillman's lyrics are probably the best part and this one doesn't disappoint with its cynical look on the average American life. The especially poignant "is this the part where I get all I ever wanted" begs the question on whether all of the little things we do in life (job, marriage, children, possessions) is actually making us happy.

Check this one out and be ready for a few Tillman songs in 2015!
