Father John Misty has confirmed the details of his next studio album.
After telling Uncut last year not long after Pure Comedy that his new record had been written during a ‘six-week period’ when he was ‘kind of on the straits’, God’s Favorite Customer has been set for release on June 1st.
“Depending on your perspective, you’ll be either offended or enthralled, or perhaps both,” Live4ever said of Pure Comedy; one of our albums of 2017.
“At times the thick sheen of irony is impossible to wipe off; the sparkling waltz of The Memo is a lyrical cautionary tale about how much of a prisoner we are, in hock to our phony belief systems until a stranger on the internet calls in the debt: ‘Cameras to record you and mirrors to recognise/And as the world is getting smaller, small things take up all your time/Narcissus would’ve had a field day if he could’ve got online’.”
Two new tracks, Disappointing Diamonds Are The Rarest Of Them All and Just Dumb Enough To Try, are up on YouTube:
