Father John Misty

Europe first press 2025. New, unsealed.
Big feelings, bigger lines, and just enough self awareness to stop it turning into pure theatre kid nonsense. This is lush, sarcastic, romantic, anxious, and painfully sharp all at once. Strings swell, jokes land, then suddenly he twists the knife emotionally when you are not ready for it. It is funny, uncomfortable, sincere, and way more human than it sometimes gets credit for. A proper modern classic that still rewards full album listens. FFO Leonard Cohen later years, Fleet Foxes solo detours, Sufjan Stevens confessional era, Randy Newman wit, smart sad songwriter records
