Description
Father John Misty’s ‘Pure Comedy’ is the highly anticipated
follow up to his internationally acclaimed album, ‘I Love You,
Honeybear’.
Father John Misty aka Josh Tillman’s bent critiques, bared
humanity and gently warped classic songwriting are all here in
equal measure and, at 75 minutes, there’s a lot of it. The album
navigates themes of progress, technology, fame, the
environment, politics, aging, social media, human nature,
human connection and his own role in it all with his usual
candour, in terms as timely as they are timeless.
‘Pure Comedy’ was co-produced once again by Josh Tillman and
long-time producer Jonathan Wilson, mixed by Tillman, Wilson
and Trevor Spencer and mastered by Bob Ludwig at Gateway
Mastering Studios. The album features string, horn and choral
arrangements from classical iconoclast Gavin Bryars (‘Jesus’
Blood Never Failed Me Yet’, ‘Sinking Of The Titanic’), with
additional contributions from Nico Muhly and Thomas Bartlett.
Standard LP on black vinyl in a gatefold Sleeve (four versions of
the sleeve), fold out lyric poster and digital download code
