Father John Misty has surprise-dropped a new live album on Bandcamp, titled “Off-Key in Hamburg”. The singer-songwriter, born as Joshua Michael Tillman, will donate all proceeds from the album to MusiCares‘ COVID-19 Relief Fund, which benefits the musicians and music industry professionals who have been most impacted by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Off-Key in Hamburg sees FJM and his band joined by the Neue Philharmonie Frankfurt Orchestra during their August 8th, 2019 performance at the Hamburg Elbphilharmonieon in Hamburg, Germany. Though the album does not contain any new material, it marks Father John Misty’s first release since 2018’s God’s Favorite Customer.
The album contains tracks from the 2018 release, as well as older tracks as well. “Nancy From Now On”, for example, appears on the first Father John Misty release, 2012’s “Fear Fun”. Listen to the entire album below and click here to purchase directly from the Father John Misty Bandcamp page.
