Father John Misty – Chloe and the Next 20th Century (CD)
Product Details
Josh Tillman has always written from a place of deep cinematic literacy, and on his fifth album he leans fully into the orchestrated pop of a mid-century Hollywood that never quite existed. Recorded during the suspended reality of late 2020, the songs carry a wistfulness that feels both period-accurate and strangely immediate, with Drew Erickson's lush string and brass arrangements giving Tillman's sardonic romanticism its most elegantly costumed setting yet.
Father John Misty returns with Chloë and The Next 20th Century, his fifth album and first new material since the release of God's Favorite Customer in 2018. Chloë and the Next 20th Century was written and recorded August through December 2020 and features arrangements by Drew Erickson. The album sees Father John Misty - aka Josh Tillman - and producer/multi-instrumentalist Jonathan Wilson resume their longtime collaboration, with Dave Cerminara returning as engineer and mixer. Basic tracks were recorded at Wilson's Five Star Studios with strings, brass and woodwinds recorded at United Recordings in a session featuring Dan Higgins and Wayne Bergeron, among others. Chloë and The Next 20th Century features the singles "Funny Girl," "Q4," "Goodbye Mr. Blue," and "Kiss Me (I Loved You)."
