Father John Misty’s album Fear Fun came out at the beginning of May and with it I’ve been pleased. I don’t think putting the album in a box, saying it brings thoughts of this or that, will do it a fair shake. Take it some of the music below and set your calender for a date.

John Amadon’s album, Seven Stars, has strong melody and a rainy day sort of hopeful reflection. The vocals evoke thoughts of Chris Bell and Elliot Smith. I’ve enjoyed the record, but enough about me. Listen and purchase here.
Chicago band Nonagon are sure to take some astute listeners back to the heyday of Dischord and Touch & Go Records. Their latest EP, People Live Everywhere, was released back in February and can be previewed here.
