Single Review – Father John Misty – Total Entertainment Forever

With Joshua Tilman’s new album under the guise of Father John Misty just under a month away, he’s released another track from Pure Comedy with ‘Total Entertainment Forever’. In his latest track he continues to channel that Americana style with chiming piano chords tied up in a jangling acoustic riff with the accentuation of a few Saxophones. In this track he turns his narrative of modern life to our slow degradation as we take on more technology. The lyrics conclude with historians discovering our lifeless corpses with “frozen smiles” on their faces. Father John Misty doesn’t do subtle and long may that continue.
