Father John Misty – Chloe and the Next 20th Century (3-LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Josh Tillman has always written from a place of unflinching self-examination, but on this fourth collaboration with Jonathan Wilson, he pivots toward something more cinematic and outward-facing, conjuring a mid-century Hollywood sound that owes as much to film noir as to singer-songwriter tradition. The orchestral lushness here, built around Erickson's string and brass arrangements, marks a deliberate departure from the raw confessional edges of his earlier work.
Box set with hardcover book containing both LPs on clear red vinyl, poster, and two bonus 7"s. 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)."
