Father John Misty - God's Favorite Customer (June 1, 2018) Album • Page 12

That song is officially released as of today

 

I want to listen so bad but it feels like at this point there's no reason to when it's only a 10 track album. I'd rather save it for tomorrow night.

 

Oh word. When I would click it it would say it wasn’t released but if I played the track before it and skipped to it it would play.

 

Mine has the "test pressing" thing too. Must be a goof

 

I'm just now remembering this tweet.

Some of you are probably sick of me talking about Eaux Claires but if this happens I'll shit. He doesn't have any tour dates that weekend and the next weekend he'll be in Louisville. Hmmmmm

 

Also I was just trying to wait until Friday but I had to listen to this again this morning.

"The Palace" and "The Songwriter" are possibly the two most beautiful songs he's ever written and they're both on the same album.

 

Agreed. And neither would be in my top five songs on the record.

 

P4K back on the FJM hype train

Father John Misty: God’s Favorite Customer Album Review | Pitchfork

 

because its amazing

 

Fiiiinaly listening. Hangout At the Gallows already has me weak

 

It’s my least favourite of his last three records

(Still great)

 

as they should

what's funny is that I feel like the majority of publications like p4k and stereo gum were ready to go full heel turn on FJM after Mr. Tillman was released but then FJM put it on an album with 9 of the most vulnerable heart wrenching and introspective songs of his career and they had to change course because the album is so fucking good haha

 

Just Dumb Enough To Try gets better every time I hear it

 

this write up is excellent

The record is comparatively small and vulnerable, as hook-filled as it is heartrending, the kind of back-to-basics turn that almost seems a bit too calculated after the density of last year’s Pure Comedy. Written over a period of two emotionally fraught months holed up in a New York hotel room, Tillman sounds more wise than clever. Instead of the romantic bombast of I Love You, Honeybear, now it’s love songs without ornaments, written from the perspective of someone looking up at the world, not down on it. Finally, the real lessons of his psychedelic trips of the past are taking hold: Father John Misty wants to destroy his ego, get out of his head, and be here for someone else.

this gets to the heart of why im feeling this record so much

 

hangout at the gallows is my new favorite misty tune

 

Bless me Father for I have sinned

 

What would it sound like if you were the songwriter
And you made your living off of me?
Would you detail your near constant consternation
With the way my very presence makes your muses up and flee?

 

Holy fuck

Gotta start listening asap

 

Please Don’t Die is the one.

 

Listening for the first time right now. I'm really liking the guitar in Hangout at the Gallows!

 

probably tied with PC right now with me directly below ILYHB but like Hyden has said recently, FJM has maybe had the best four album run of the decade

 

God damnit this is SO good.

 

I know this probably won't convert anybody or anything but hopefully the "omg muh irony and persona!!!" takes die down..

This is just a guy writing honest, brilliant songs.

 

I hear Weyes Blood on the title track

WAKE UP YALL LETS TALK ABOUT THIS

 

I was listening to Ye because I had to hear it at least once and the whole time I just wanted it to end so I could listen to this again.
