Father John Misty

Feb 4, 12:30pm Captain Obvious
Father John Misty 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 [...]

Elephant Micah: Louder Than Thou (2012)

Jan 29, 1:53am Captain Obvious
Elephant Micah: Louder Than Thou (2012) Bloomington, Indiana's Elephant Micah, whose revolving cast of musicians is spearheaded by principle songwriter Joseph O'Connell, is set to release Louder Than Thou on O'Connell's own Product of Palmyra label on January 31. O'Connell's prolific output, which includes an eclectic assortment of limited edition, home-produced, and hard-to-find recordings, has garnered him a modest yet devoted following. Deservedly so. O'Connell's obviously well-versed in classic songwriters, but he builds on this foundation by exhibiting a zest for experimentation. Shades of Jackson Browne and Neil Young pepper the varied canvas of Louder Than Thou, but O'Connell is unafraid to supplement his [...]

Kurt Vile: So Outta Reach EP (2011)

Nov 14, 2011, 7:38pm Captain Obvious
Kurt Vile: So Outta Reach EP (2011) Philadelphia song-maestro Kurt Vile is now offering up a deluxe edition of the masterful Smoke Ring For My Halo. It includes a new six-song EP entitled So Outta Reach . The songs on the EP were recorded during the Smoke Ring sessions and, like most of Vile's output, occupy a similar headspace. Heck, there's even two variations of the same song on the EP, the more rocking "Life's A Beach" and the more acoustic-oriented "(so outta reach)." Not many artists can manage to sound so samey yet still engage their listeners, but Vile's unique blend of deft [...]

Carter Tanton: Freeclouds (2011)

Nov 14, 2011, 6:51pm Captain Obvious
Carter Tanton: Freeclouds (2011) When I first heard the infectious "Murderous Joy" from Carter Tanton's Freeclouds , his voice sounded very familiar. Turns out I had heard that voice before on Tulsa's overlooked yet noteworthy 2007 EP I Was Submerged . After some difficulties with their label the band split and Tanton went on to play guitar for Marissa Nadler. His experience playing and arranging on Nadler's recent self-titled album served as a catalyst for his recent solo effort Freeclouds. Tanton's base sensibilities are decidedly singer-songwriter, but his brand of Americana is accented by an array of genres from lo-fi to psychedelia [...]
