Our Take

Father John Misty's latest offering, "Pure Comedy," is a rollercoaster of emotion and wit that never fails to entertain.

From its opening track, Misty weaves a tale of societal woes and personal introspection with his trademark sardonic humour. His lyrics are sharp and biting, yet delivered with a sense of detached irony that only he can pull off.

The music itself is a mishmash of genres, blending folk, rock, and even a touch of country to create a sound that is uniquely Misty. The instrumentation is lush and complex, with layers upon layers of sound that reveal new hidden depths upon each listen.

Standout tracks include the epic "Pure Comedy," with its sweeping orchestral arrangements and biting social commentary, and the introspective "Leaving LA," which sees Misty reflecting on his own place in the world.

Overall, "Pure Comedy" is a triumph for Misty, showcasing his songwriting prowess and undeniable charisma. It's an album that is sure to delight both longtime fans and newcomers alike, and cements Misty's status as one of the most talented and enigmatic artists working today.
