Father John Misty

I don't know why, but for some reason or another, i always seem to write off Father John Misty, and Fleet Foxes before him, thinking it's just some by-the-numbers, easy-listening indie rock...until i actually sit down and listen, and am consistently blown away by how beautiful and heartfelt the music really is.  Such is the case with the handful of songs i've heard from the forthcoming "I Love You, Honeybear" LP due next month on Sub Pop.  Take a listen to the wonderful "Chateau Lobby #4 (in C for Two Virgins)" below and try your best not to have it rattling around in your head all day long.  It feels like the culmination of all the records our parents listened to, the ones that carved themselves onto our collective psyches and pushed us forth into the world.
