Who Said It: Father or Father John Misty?

Folk singer-songwriter and former Fleet Foxes drummer Joshua Tillman is a musician who, as Father John Misty, writes cynically but passionately about love. Father, the de facto leader of Atlanta’s Awful Records, is a rapper that writes sex positive but sometimes foul lyrics repulsive enough to make 2 Live Crew blush. Stylistically speaking, the two couldn’t be further apart; they are on two entirely different ends of the musical spectrum. But when you strip their lyrics of sound and lay them flat on the page, it cuts the distance between them. They may have divergent approaches to creating songs about intimacy, but they often share common ground. Can you tell the Fathers apart? Test yourself with this fun quiz.
