Halfway through 2012 critics are already starting their best-of lists, and Father John Misty's debut, "Fear Fun," is taking spots on many. Former Fleet Foxes drummer J. Tillman ditched the wispy folk of the Seattle group (and the depression he suffered in the rainy city) for the more sunny dance pop of his California-recorded work as Father John Misty. The muscular "Hollywood Forever Cemetery" deserves a spot on any summer mix. And headlining indie pop act Youth Lagoon isn't so bad itself. Music starts at 10 p.m. Monday at The Aquarium, 226 Broadway. Tickets are $10 in advance,
$12 at the door. (701) 235-5913.
