What are your favorite new releases this week?
Father John Misty is prepping the followup to 2015’s I Love You, Honeybear and today he dropped a video of new material – “Pure Comedy.”
He’s been playing this song during live sets recently, so there’s a good chance this ends up on the new record, which may be out this Spring.
