#7
Father John Misty
| God’s Favorite Customer
Sub Pop/Bella Union

According to Sarah Paolantonio: “Father John Misty, also known as Josh Tillman, has been quiet as he released his newest LP God’s Favorite Customer into the world. This isn’t the path he’s taken before, but this time the music does all the talking. And boy, does it talk.

He is one of the few people I’m aware of who can name his feelings as he’s aware of them. It’s not an easy task and his ability to do so relaxes me and makes me feel less alone. Even if he’s unsure, he’s unafraid of his demons as he’s steady.

The self-restraint outside of the songs is a nice change of pace. But we’ll literally have to wait and see what happens next, and hope that he’s still willing to share.”
