Father John Misty / Pure ComedyAs his shamanic alter ego Father John Misty, Josh Tillman positions himself as a keen-eyed observer of human behaviour. Now with his latest studio offering, aptly titled Pure Comedy, he's operating at full throttle as a top-shelf satirist. "Comedy, now that's what I call pure comedy," he sings before suggesting that, ultimately, we're all "just random matter suspended in the dark". Dripping with irony and back humour, Pure Comedy is an essential listen, especially in the current political climate and the direction mankind is headed. The poolside shindig then turns dark as vocalist Joe Newman lets out a trademark "la la la" hook and continues, "Kelly, let's dive, dive down/ To the pool's bottom where we belong/ Kelly, we're sinking like a bleeding stone."
