Father John Misty the uber talented artist released a new song at his June 6 San Diego performance. He is currently on tour with Jason Isbell and the 400 unit through June then in August, he plays UK and European shows. Jade Bird and Erin Rae will be joining the tour on select dates.
The tour is in support of Misty’s latest release God’s Favorite Customer, one of mxdwn’s “High Fidelity” albums of 2018, calling it “pure and intimate heartache.” Tickets for the tour are available HERE. Various music sources including Rolling Stone and Pitchfork have compared his work to John Lennon’s. In a Rolling Stone article, the album is described, “What lifts God’s Favorite Customer beyond homage is Tillman’s slicing, free-associative candor as he examines the cost in sanity and constancy of his craft and touring life.”
Isbell and the 400 unit’s last release was their 2017 album, The Nashville Sound, which received the Grammy for Best Americana and Best American Roots Song for “If We Were Vampires” and widespread critical acclaim. The Los Angeles Times stated the album is “another impressively literate collection stoked with the kind of insightful songs that have made him one of the bright lights of roots music over the last decade.”
