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 Tillman and producer/multi-instrumentalist Jonathan Wilson resume their longtime collaboration, as well as 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)” .

A decade after his debut and four years after his last album, Father John Misty’s upcoming LP 'Chloë and The Next 20th Century' can’t come soon enough. We’re relieved to hear that Tillman’s caustic wit and cynicism remains, but with all the orchestral grandeur of Frank Sinatra and the finesse of the pizzicato violin on his first single ‘Funny Girl’. FFO: Devendra Banhart, Fleet Foxes, Courtney Barnett, Jonathan Wilson.
