FATHER JOHN MISTY Anthem +3 gets 8/10

Father John Misty is the talismanic and outspoken persona of Josh Tillman (former drummer for Fleet Foxes). His last album, God’s Favorite Customer, was released in 2018, but all the songs on new EP Anthem +3, released this month, are covers. It begins with a completely new cover of Leonard Cohen’s Anthem, with the following three have been previously released. Tillman timed the release to coincide with Bandcamp’s commendable No Revenue Share Day, with all proceeds from it going to CARE Action and Ground Game LA. It’s not his first release of 2020 either: in March, Tillman released the live album Off-Key In Hamburg, also distributed through Bandcamp to help raise funds for MusiCares COVID-19 Fund.
