Anyone who previously wrote about the saxophone is playing the guy down. Actually felt some growth and liveliness in this record as a whole when I thought FJM was stuck in his usual rigamarole.
I will be honest, up until a year ago I hadn’t given Father John Misty much thought, actually ignore that, I had given him a lot of thought and decided I found him quite pretentious so decided to pay no mind to his music. That was until I saw him open for Lana Del Rey in Hyde Park and had what could be described as a spiritual revelation because unfortunately he has some insane level rizz. Believe the cult leader moniker, it’s a real phenomenon, and it changed my life (for better or worse).
