  • God's Favorite Customer by Father John Misty
    Father John Misty – “God’s Favorite Customer” The artist behind the ego: Josh Tillman, mostly known by his performance nom de guerre Father John Misty, is a Maryland born indie folk/rock singer; although he began his musical career as a drummer playing for minor indie bands like Saxon Shore while working in a bakery for a day job. He was born in an evangelical household and was very religious during his youth, something he resented his parents for when he grew up. While working as a drummer, he wrote music for himself in his free time. He attended a private Christian college but dropped out as he felt more comfortable in his music career. Through touring, he made connections with other artists and his demos made their way to Damien Jurado, a fellow Sub Pop artist. He would then go on to open for Jurado. In 2006, he had his first studio album released under the moniker J. Tillman. He then went on to produce four more albums (eight in total), with the last one being released in 2010. During his J. Tillman years, a lot of the music he made was very folk and has joked about the music he made being “sad bastard music.” He found very little success doing folk albums. During this time as J. Tillman, he joined the indie band Fleet Foxes as the drummer. In an interview with Rolling Stone, he stated that, “With Fleet Foxes I had to confront a certain sacred cow in my life, which was the idea that if I was in a popular band, if I just get to be a working musician, then that’s going to be the antidote for all the boredom and pain in my life.

  • Producer, Engineer, Mixer Phil Ek, Producer of Artists
    Rebekah Ratlif 9/12/2011 Demo Production Phil Ek: Producer, Engineer, Mixer Phil Ek, producer of artists such as The Shins, Modest Mouse, Fleet Foxes, and Band of Horses, prides himself on filling three roles of the music production process: producer, engineer, and mixer. It’s fair to say that he is successful in all three areas. In the nineties Ek moved to Seattle after graduating high school and started in the clubs of Seattle where he worked as an audio engineer. After working for a year and a half, he moved on to recording small demos for anyone that came to him. He would record three song demos on cassette so the artists could try to get gigs in clubs and venues. Ek then attended the Art Institute of Seattle to study recording. During this time he met John Endino, producer of Nirvana, and ended up assisting him in his studios. During his time with Endino and recording demos at Sub Pop records he met members of the band Built to Spill. Ek, creating a good relationship with the band, was asked to record their record “There’s Nothing Wrong with Love” which went on to reach #24 on Pitchfork’s Top 100 albums of the 1990s. Ever since recording that album, Ek has been unstoppable, recording several other Built to Spill records, two number one albums in the US, and two in the US top 40. The Role of the Producer The idea of what a producer actually does could be diferent for many people, depending on their perspective in or outside of the music industry.

  • Helplessness Blues by the Fleet Foxes
    Helplessness Blues by The Fleet Foxes I was raised up believing I was somehow unique Like a snowflake distinct among snowflakes, unique in each way you can see 5 And now after some thinking, I’d say I’d rather be A functioning cog in some great machinery serving something beyond me But I don’t, I don’t know what that will be I’ll get back to you someday soon you will see 10 What’s my name, what’s my station? Oh, just tell me what I should do I don’t need to be kind to the armies of night that would do such injustice to you Or bow down and be grateful and say, “Sure, take all that you see” 15 To the men who move only in dimly-lit halls and determine my future for me And I don’t, I don’t know who to believe I’ll get back to you someday soon you will see 20 If I know only one thing, it’s that everything that I see Of the world outside is so inconceivable often I barely can speak Yeah I’m tongue-tied and dizzy and I can’t keep it to myself What good is it to sing helplessness blues, why should I wait for anyone else? 25 And I know, I know you will keep me on the shelf I’ll come back to you someday soon myself If I had an orchard, I’d work ‘til I’m raw If I had an orchard, I’d work ‘til I’m sore 30 And you would wait tables and soon run the store Gold hair in the sunlight, my light in the dawn If I had an orchard, I’d work ‘til I’m sore If I had an orchard, I’d work ‘til I’m sore Someday I’ll be like the man on the screen .

  • Villages Upon the Horizon (EP)
    Villages Upon the Horizon (EP) When the four members of Villages established the band in 2016, it was with the goal of writing original songs in the spirit of the traditional music of their home region, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. But from that simple foundation, the sound of Villages has consistently expanded into what is now a dazzling combination of indie folk and experimental pop, with dashes of sun-bleached psychedelia added for good measure. The band’s new EP Upon the Horizon - a taste of their next full-length album due in 2021 - is their most dynamic and exploratory work yet, recorded at New Scotland Yard studio in Dartmouth, just after Nova Scotia lifted social distancing rules in July 2020. But what makes Upon the Horizon stand apart from Villages’ past efforts is its mix done by American indie rock legend Phil Ek (Fleet Foxes, Modest Mouse, Built to Spill, The Shins, Father John Misty, Band of Horses). For Matt Ellis, Travis Ellis, Jon Pearo and Archie Rankin, it was not only an honour to work with one of their heroes, but a validation of their distinctive musical approach. Travis Ellis explains, “Back before we mixed our first record, I threw a bit of a Hail Mary and reached out to Phil to gauge his interest. He was into it but the timing just didn’t work out then. Thankfully everything came together this time around, and it was a real treat to work with Phil. He did a great job and definitely took the songs to another level.” That was exactly what the members of Villages were after, since the songs as written aimed to transcend the sense of isolation and dread that accompanied pandemic restrictions.

    Band Fleet Foxes, Sänger Pecknold (3. v. l.): Wie aus einem Zeltlager in den Rocky Mountains verschleppt 16 5/ 2011 KulturSPIEGEL Fuchsteufelsmild Die Fleet Foxes kommen aus Seattle und tragen Karohemden. Doch ihre Musik ist kein Klischee. VON CHRISTOPH DALLACH Das neue Album der Fleet Foxes sei „vermutlich eher lang - Hommage an die Schönklänge der späten sechziger und frühen weilig“, warnt Robin Pecknold. Eine „nicht wirklich eingängige“ siebziger Jahre. Die „Zeit von 1965 bis ungefähr 1972“ sei die Sammlung von Songs, und „Hits“ seien da schon gar nicht drauf. „beste für Musik“ gewesen, sagt Pecknold, und zwar, weil sie da - Wer trotzdem neugierig auf das Album namens „Helplessness mals nahezu frei von überflüssiger Technik gewesen sei. „Modi - Blues“ sei, solle es sich halt im Internet runterladen – ohne dafür sche Produktionen haben viele tolle Lieder und Platten ruiniert, zu zahlen, selbstverständlich.

University of Central Florida, 2011 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of English in the College of Arts and Humanities at the University of Central Florida Orlando, Florida Spring Term 2015 ABSTRACT This thesis examines contemporary folk music from no earlier than 2006, specifically music of the bands The Decemberists, Fleet Foxes, and Bon Iver. Providing a close reading of select songs, I prove that modern music is seeing a revival in the Romantic Era and Transcendentalist ideals and philosophy. The works and philosophy of Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834), William Wordsworth (1770-1850), John Keats (1795-1821), as well as Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862), Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882), among others and their critics are all considered for points of comparison to the modern lyrics.
