Father John Misty, everyone’s favourite / most detested* sardonic, nihilist crooner, is BACK. With new singles, and now his new album, Mahashmashana.
It’s a brilliant work, which you’ll adore / absolutely hate*. I’m here for all of it, but particularly the full faded start / hobo chic in the new single, She Cleans Up.
It’s difficult to know what I really expected the next Sufjan Stevens song to sound like following the epic 12 minute+ ‘America’. The track list for the new album dropping at the end of Sept. was shared recently showing that ‘America’ will close the 15 track album out.
This track ‘Video Game’ will feature as third track on the album. And it couldn’t much further from America. The video features Tik Tok sensation Jalaiah Harmon performing her viral ‘renegade’ dance … which doesn’t really fit but of course in context does. How did that conversation go ‘Hey Jalaiah, do you want to star in a music video for a song about not wanting to star in music videos?’
For the avoidance of doubt … I love this.
