God's Favorite Customer

Northside-aktuelle Father John Misty udgiver nyt album 1. juni 2018.

Med sin varme folkrock og fløjsbløde ballader akkompagneret af stærkt satiriske tekster, der både udleverer ham selv og alle andre, har Josh Tillman (aka Father John Misty) på sine sidste to album, I Love You, Honeybear og Pure Comedy, etableret sig som denne generations største indiedarling. Nu er han igen klar til at underholde og provokere med albummet, God's Favorite Customer.

Det nye album har Tillman selv produceret, og det er indspillet i samarbejde med Jonathan Rado (Foxygen), Dave Cerminara, og Trevor Spencer. Derudover medvirker Jonathan Wilson, Natalie Mering (aka Weyes Blood), the Haxan Cloak samt medlemmer fra FJM's livetrup.

Josh Tillman siger selv om albummet: "Most of this next album was written in a six-week period where I was kind of on the straits. 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."
