The new Father John Misty video has been directed by filmmaker and photographer Emma Elizabeth Tillman.

The official video for Father John Misty’s track Buddy’s Rendezvous has been premiered.

“Although the video and the song can be considered love letters to Los Angeles, the themes are universal,” Emma Elizabeth Tillman explains. “Disappointments, regrets, forgiveness, tenderness, perseverance, and love.”

“The incredible performances by Arrow, Craig, Gilbert, and David Haley all coalesce to bring this vision to life. Cinematography by James Wall on 16mm evokes the down and out feeling of LA, merging past and present.”

The song is a part of Father John’s recent UK Top 2 album Chloë and The Next 20th Century, which Live4ever said represents, ‘the author’s salty yarns at their idiosyncratic best’:

“If you accidentally stopped by searching for simplicity of pop on its own terms, or in an attempt to try and get the joke, there’s little succour here; closer The Next 20th Century maps out, over nearly seven minutes, a past future in which Val Kilmer inhabits the same arc as a Nazi wedding band, but amongst the seeds of our destruction being harvested at least sounds an acquiescent, nearly optimistic note with: ‘I’ll take the love songs, if this century’s here to stay’.”
