The next Father John Misty album was described last year as “almost done”. It’s expected to be released in 2018.

Tillman released his ‘Pure Comedy‘ LP last year, his third album under the moniker. It was named as one of NME’s albums of 2017.

He was also namechecked as one of NME’s best live acts of 2017, as well as having Edward Steed’s artwork for ‘Pure Comedy’ hailed one of the best album artworks of the 21st century.
