Father John Misty is pretty much done with his follow-up to this year’s Pure Comedy record.
Giving an update to Uncut (via NME), Josh Tillman detailed the swift process which has brought him to the conclusion of his fourth FJM LP.
“Most of this next album was written in a six-week period where I was kind of on the straits,” he said. “I was living in a hotel for two months. It’s kind of about…yeah…misadventure.”
“The words were just pouring out of me. It’s really rooted in something that happened last year that was…well, my life blew up. I think the music essentially serves the purpose of making the painful and the isolating less painful and less isolating. But in short, it’s a heartache album.”
Pure Comedy’s success – a Top 10 hit in both the US and UK – kept the ball rolling after the commercial breakthrough of 2015’s I Love You, Honeybear.
