Father John Misty has delivered the official video for “Please Don’t Die” [watch here], a standout from God’s Favorite Customer, out this Friday on Sub Pop and Bella Union. The new visual, which was helmed by returning director Chris Hopewell (“Things It Would Have Been Helpful Before The Revolution”), was constructed and filmed at Jacknife Studios in Bristol, UK.
God’s Favorite Customer, his fourth album, will be available worldwide this Friday, June 1st through Sub Pop, with the exception of Europe through Bella Union. God’s Favorite Customer was produced by Tillman and recorded with Jonathan Rado, Dave Cerminara, and Trevor Spencer and was written largely in New York between Summer 2016 and Winter 2017.
God’s Favorite Customer is available now for preorder through Father John Misty’s Official Store, Sub Pop Mega Mart, Bella Union and select independent retailers. God’s Favorite Customer will also be available to stream this Friday via Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, and a DSP nearest you.
What people are saying about Father John Misty’s God’s Favorite Customer:
“A rich tapestry of AM-radio jangle and strum, threaded with songbook ballads like the rueful opener “Hangout at the Gallows” and pretty, plaintive “Just Dumb Enough to Try” [Grade: A-] – Entertainment Weekly
“His most personally revealing album yet… A heady journey through excess, absurdity and 21st–century mores from arguably the world’s most eloquent singer–songwriter.” **** – Q
“Given the nature of the album, it feels almost crass to point out that Tillman pulled it off again. But he did, in making another stunning Father John Misty album.” – Stereogum
**** – MOJO
“Blurring the lines between artist and alter-ego and trading humour for heartbreak on a concise record that’s as sombre as it is satisfying.” [8/10] – Exclaim!
“It really is glorious… There is little artifice here, no witty asides; It’s blinding at times, and that’s what makes this journey so exciting.” [****, Album of the Month] – Uncut
“Utterly beautiful… Father John Misty delivers a record that’s on another level.” [*****] – DORK
“God’s Favorite Customer is his most succinct effort yet, rarely ever breaking from the album’s overall narrative…As always, his most brutally honest lyrics are his most profound.” – Consequence of Sound
