Father John Misty is going on doing press for his upcoming album “Pure Comedy”. The album’s due out April 7th. After an in-depth interview with Beat 1’s Zane Lowe, Josh Tillman stopped by Lauren Laverne’s BBC Radio 6 show to perform a new 13-minute track, “Leaving LA”. After his performance, Tillman joked, “that’s the whitest, most acoustic thing you’ve ever seen.”
“It’s about as fundamental of a change as I think I could reasonable pull off at this stage in my career. But I definitely worked harder writing this one. There’s one song in particular that I’ve been writing for three years. If it’s not my masterpiece, then I’m fucked.”
Father John Misty talks us through the songs that made him – featuring lots of Christian rock, R Kelly and some highly inappropriate Beach Boys.
