“His most personally revealing album yet… A heady journey through excess, absurdity and 21st–century mores from arguably the world’s most eloquent singer–songwriter.” – Q | 4 stars
“It really is glorious… There is little artifice here, no witty asides; It’s blinding at times, and that’s what makes this journey so exciting.” – UNCUT Album of the Month | 4 stars
“He has the ear of Jeff Lynne and the vowels of Elton John as he casts his words into the sky and lets them hang there to be marveled at, plainspoken and myth-free,” – PITCHFORK | 8.5/10
“It’s as if Tillman wrote and arranged these songs under the sumptuous, despairing spell of Lennon’s early-Seventies solo records, with time off for the late-Sixties Zombies and the Beach Boys’ Sunflower.” – ROLLING STONE | 4 stars
“God’s Favorite Customer is his most succinct effort yet… As always, his most brutally honest lyrics are his most profound.” – CONSEQUENCE OF SOUND
“Utterly beautiful… Father John Misty delivers a record that’s on another level.” – DORK | 5 stars
– MOJO | 4 stars
“..he can’t put a verse wrong..” – HERALD SUN | 4 1/2 stars

Following the release of his acclaimed fourth studio album God’s Favorite Customer,Father John Misty today reveals the video for the album’s title track. Released via Sub Pop | ADA, God’s Favorite Customer debuted at #9 on the ARIA Album Chart, claimed his third top 20 entry on the Billboard album chart at #18, alongside the #1 position on the Alternative, Americana and Vinyl album charts.
Directed by Emma Elizabeth Tillman and starring Josh Tillman, the new visual for God’s Favorite Customer (which features a glorious duet with Sub Pop label mate Weyes Blood) finds Tillman wandering the dark, early morning streets of New York City.
God’s Favorite Customer is one of the best-reviewed albums of the year, earning “Best Albums of the Year (So Far)” notices from the likes of Rolling Stone, Stereogum, and Consequence of Sound. Produced by Tillman and recorded with Jonathan Rado, Dave Cerminara and Trevor Spencer, the album was written largely in New York between the summer of 2016 and winter of 2017.
A live phenomenon, in the past year, the enigmatic and singular artist has performed two headline tours in Australia, in additions to sets at Splendour in the Grass, St Jerome’s Laneway Festival, Coachella and Glastonbury to name a few. To celebrate the release of God’s Favorite Customer, Father John Misty will undertake a headline tour spanning six months across North America, the UK and Europe including sets at Primavera, All Points East, We Love Green, Best Kept Secret, Panorama, Red Rocks and more.
