Info zu Chloë and the Next 20th Century

Chloë and the Next 20th Century' wurde von August bis Dezember des letzten Jahres von Tillman geschrieben und aufgenommen, der dafür die langjährige Zusammenarbeit mit Produzent und Multi-Instrumentalist Jonathan Wilson wieder aufleben ließ. Auch Dave Cerminara kehrt als Toningenieur und Mischer zum kleinen Team zurück, das von Produzent Drew Erickson ergänzt wird. Die neuen Songs entstanden in Wilsons Five Star Studios im Osten von Los Angeles, die im späteren Verlauf mit diversen Streichern und Bläsern angereichert wurden, für die sich unter anderem Dan Higgins und Wayne Bergeron erkenntlich zeigen.

"Jetzt hat auch Father John Misty eine Swingplatte herausgebracht.​ Okay, nicht ganz.​ Nur ein Teil der Songs, etwa der Opener ›Chloë‹, ist im altmodischen Stil der 30er/40er Jahre gehalten, aber alle sind mit einem großen Orchester instrumentiert.​ Mal klingen sie nach Musical, mal nach Las Vegas, aber selten kitschig, dafür sind die Texte und Kompositionen zu ambitioniert.​" (Good Times)

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.
