Father John Misty - Chloe And The Next 20th Century (April 8th, 2022) Album • Page 9

Honeybear
GFC
Chloe (probably - could definitely change though)
Fear Fun
Pure Comedy

Honeybear is a classic and GFC is not far behind.
Fear Fun is like half my favorite FJM songs and half his songs I know/care about the least.
Pure Comedy is still very good but it does kind of drag on for me. The highlights are very high and there's nothing I really think is bad, but it's pretty rare I want to commit to the entire 75 minutes

 

My buddy from high school engineered and mixed this.

 

Top 5 FJM

1. “So I’m Growing Old on Magic Mountain”
2. “Holy Shit”
3. “Chateau Lobby #4 (in C for Two Virgins)”
4. “Disappointing Diamonds are the Rarest of Them All”
5. “Hollywood Forever Cemetery Sings”

 

Told @phaynes12 this but “Doing interviews for the new live action Cathy” is a lyric only Tillman can get away with hahahaha

 

He did a fucking amazing job

 

he worked on GFC as well

She put on Flight of the Valkyries
At her thirty-first birthday party
Took a leap into the Autumn leaves

bars

 

God damn after three full listens this is just so engrossing. I think all of his albums are master classes of building self contained little worlds to live in, he just has an unparalleled level of consistency across an entire record and is able to tie everything together with lush production and arrangements, so while it goes in a few different directions it’s clearly all happening under the same umbrella which is hard to pull off without coming across as being TOO samesy or the dreaded “boring” word which obviously does NOT fit here. The fork review probably painted my view on this because I read it before I listened (or as I was listening to the first couple tracks) but it’s definitely a dream-like film vibe, full of ups and downs and the ebbs and flows of a visual narrative told through music. It’s astounding and I can barely put it into words that make sense

 

The closer on this thing is loaded with bars…

“The Nazis that we hired for our wedding band played
Your anthem like I wasn’t there for the father-daughter dance”

“There’s no doubting the devotion my ancestors had for yours
Now we’ve got all the love to pay for like, a thousand different wars”

“We weren’t paying for your body lord; we were paying you to leave”

“Val Kilmer had a wall-length mirror just over there
Well I’m sure he’s someone else now but he was Batman when he lived here”

That track has to be a top 5 FJM for me. I still haven’t wrapped my head around it but it’s legit unsettling

 

some more thoughts in this whole thread. if it’s not obvious I’m obsessed.

 

Only one listen in to Chloe, so I'll bite here...

1. God's Favorite Customer
2. Holy Shit
3. Total Entertainment Forever
4. Please Don't Die
5. Real Love Baby*


*This was my wedding song and the band slayed it, so it has to be here I think.

 

Total entertainment forever and please don’t die are definitely in my top 5

 

Can confirm this is a perfect record to make a hello fresh meal to
