Father John Misty – God’s Favorite Customer (Sub Pop)

The only soundtrack you need for the chilly times upon us has landed.

Suitable for a myriad of soul-warming needs and a formidable follow-up to the cult favourite and Grammy-winning Pure Comedy, Josh Tillman aka Father John Misty introduces us to God’s Favorite Customer, his fourth studio album that brims with thawing toe-tappers all the way to fireside fixes.

Featuring toasty tracks you may have already heard such as the welcoming (and witty) Mr Tillman, to the heartstring tugger Disappointing Diamonds Are the Rarest of Them All that currently reigns supreme as my funeral march song of choice, to the painfully beautiful Just Dumb Enough to Try, this is the audible gift that keeps on giving.

Hugely anticipated tunes that deliver over and above, there are songs that can be easily likened to a lingering, warm goodbye hug in the face of the elements (Hangout at the Gallows and We’re Only People) to evocative slow burners like The Palace and God’s Favourite Customer that demand to be savoured with a whisky in hand in the dead silence of the wee hours.

Throw the winter blankets away. Father John Misty’s self-produced latest album featuring contributions from Weyes Blood, the Haxan Cloak, Jonathan Wilson, and members of the FJM touring band will ignite the flames of longing inside your very core.

God’s Favorite Customer is due out on 01 June 2018.

Coinciding with the release of God’s Favorite Customer, Father John Misty releases new video for Please Don’t Die directed by Chris Hopewell.
