Philly’s Psalmships featured on a tribute to Long May You Run, J. Tillman
New folk blog Slowcoustic has compiled a tribute to Long May You Run, J. Tillman, the second album released by the singer-songwriter you now know better as Father John Misty. Among the artists covering songs from the 2006 album are Philly’s own Psalmships, the minimal folk outfit of Joshua Britton, taking a stab at the song “Before We Retire.” Slowcoustic blogger Sandy Smansmith writes “When [Britton]…sent me the track he indicated that he felt it was possibly a bit haunting. This 7 1/2 minute track creeps into you and haunts you exactly the way it is supposed to.” Listen to it and grab a download below.
