Info for Pure Comedy

Der virtuose Songschreiber und Entertainer räumt mit seinem genialen, gesellschaftskritischen Album auf ganzer Linie ab.

Mit "Pure Comedy" erscheint das dritte Album des Joshua Tillman als Father John Misty. Gekonnt wortgewandt, tiefgründig, aber stets mit viel Ironie geschmückt, beschäftigt sich der ehemalige Fleet Foxes-Schlagzeuger wieder einmal mit den großen Themen der Menschheit. Ging es auf dem Vorgängeralbum noch süßer und verliebter zu, schaut Tillman nun direkt in die Abgründe von Gesellschaft, Religion und Politik. Am Ende scheint alles nur "Pure Comedy" zu sein. Father John Misty stellt auf dem neuen Album einmal mehr seine virtuose Art des Songschreibens sowie seine einzigartige Beobachtungsgabe unter Beweis.

Father John Misty

Father John Misty
brings folk into the 21st century with each eclectic element he incorporates into his unique sound, and his charismatic showmanship makes his live shows a must-see. When he's strumming his way through ballads like ìThe Night Josh Tillman Came to Our Apartmentî his emotional vocals and heartbreaking lyrics make alt-country fans feel right at home. But heís just as comfortable strutting his stuff to noisy, spiteful rockers like ìThe Ideal Husbandî and turning out full-blown electronica on tracks like the transcendently beautiful ìTrue Affectionî. With his singular combination of Americana traditions with cutting-edge sounds, Father John Misty is a folk icon for a new generation.

Before making his debut as Father John Misty in 2012, singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Joshua Tillman was busy recording late-night demos in the Seattle-area. After self-releasing two CD-R demos he attracted the attention of Fargo Records, and in 2006 the label released his debut album Minor Works. In 2008 Tillman was tapped by indie darlings Fleet Foxes, who needed a drummer for the recording of their self-titled debut. Though he gained widespread exposure and success with Fleet Foxes, Tillman left to pursue his creative reinvention as Father John Misty in 2012. After a warm reception from critics and fans for his debut album Fear Fun, he set out on his first solo headlining tour. His 2015 follow-up album I Love You, Honeybear was a breakthrough success, appearing on best-of lists from esteemed sources like Pitchfork, Roughtrade, and Stereogum. As he continues to breathe new life into indie folk with his wide-ranging influences and poetic gifts, Father John Mistyís electrifying performances have fans eagerly anticipating whatís next from the innovative troubadour.
