Fans of this record should check out this year's Arctic Monkeys album if they haven't already. I never paid much attention to that band, and it's not nearly as emotional, but the whole "lounge singer on the moon" concept is sooooooo FJM. I can't get enough of it. (Or this record.)
Haven't listened yet but uuuuuh FJM produced by The Haxan Cloak Father John Misty Covers Link Wray’s “Fallin’ Rain”: Listen | Pitchfork
He was fucking incredible last night. He’s probably the best live performer working right now. It’s insane
Got to see him twice last week. His riot fest set was honestly incredible it was just perfect. Saw him again in Milwaukee so I could see him do a full set and it was also incredible. I love how well he can pull of so many styles: full blown rock star, acoustic singer songwriter, lounge singer, pop star, and all of them he pulls off equally well. The theater was absolutely silent during The Palace which was really cool. Honestly I do think he’s making a strong case for being the best live performer around right now.
Saw him in Indy. Was front row center. Best seats to an artist like that I’ve ever had. Was incredible.
