Album Description
Available in:
"Pure Comedy" is the third studio album released by American folk musician Josh Tillman under his pseudonym Father John Misty. It was released on April 7, 2017, in the UK and Europe on Bella Union, and in the rest of the world on April 7, 2017, on Sub Pop. This is Tillman's third studio album since his departure from Fleet Foxes. It has been produced by Josh Tillman in collaboration with Jonathan Wilson, sound engineer Trevor Spencer and composer/double-bassist Gavin Bryars.
Pure Comedy received much acclaim from critics. On Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 88, based on 31 reviews, which signifies "universal acclaim".
User Album Review
Sonically, the album consists of simple piano and acoustic guitar, supplemented by lush orchestral instrumentals courtesy of composer Gavin Bryars. This leaves Tillman’s cynical views always at the forefront. No doubt some of the album feels overly sanctimonious, especially coming from a 35-year-old white dude who regularly spouts feminist theory in interviews. But Tillman is neurotically self-aware of how he comes across. In the 13-minute Leaving LA, he slips in, “Oh, great, that’s just what we all need, another white guy in 2017 who takes himself so goddamn seriously.” And yet Tillman’s prophetic songwriting makes Pure Comedy one of the first — and best — post-Trump albums in what’s sure to be a long line over the next four years. --- nowtoronto.com
