ALBUM REVIEW – FATHER JOHN MISTY: MAHASHMASHANA

With his 2022 album, ‘Chloë and The Next 20th Century’, it appeared that Father John Misty was trying to dial down the ambiguous signals that had permeated his earlier releases. Its mixture of golden era Hollywood and cruise ship opulence signified an artist happy to embrace the mainstream, an arena for which his outstanding melodicism […]
Dedicating an album to covering the work of one artist can often mean striking a difficult balance. Maintaining the heart of what makes the originals so persistent whilst not coming forward with a carbon copy is extremely difficult. What Moping in Style has going for it is a pretty stellar cast of musicians ready to […]

ALBUM REVIEW – FATHER JOHN MISTY: CHLOE AND THE NEXT 20TH CENTURY

Music can delight for many reasons. Often it is not an entire song but an individual moment, be it the audacity of an instrumental flourish or the ecstasy of a vocal yelp. With Father John Misty, while the pleasure may come from the beauty of the song’s orchestration and the early 1970s singer-songwriter melodies, it […]

WATCH FATHER JOHN MISTY’S BONKERS VIDEO FOR ‘DATE NIGHT’

In ‘Total Entertainment Forever’ we find George Washington donning a virtual reality helmet and experiencing a simulation wherein Kurt Cobain gets crucified by corporate fascists.

ALBUM: FATHER JOHN MISTY – PURE COMEDY

I don’t need to tell you about Father John Misty (FJM for brevity’s sake) if you’re here, because I’m taking it you know about him. If not, you can just scroll through any half decent music news website’s newsfeed, as they report literally everything he says or tweets as a bone fide news story. This […]
ALBUMS Sufjan Stevens – Carrie & Lowell Hands down the most beautiful album of the year. Sufjan’s first album since the bombast of Age of Adz is a rumination on the death of his mother, and it’s one of the most moving collection of songs I’ve ever heard. I struggled to get through it without […]

2015 END OF YEAR – RICHARD WALKER

2015 END OF YEAR – JOE CURRAN

ALBUMS Kendrick Lamar – To Pimp a Butterfly It’s topping polls left, right and centre and for good reason. An enormous, sprawling hip hop opus that captures the grim reality of black America, wealth and fame. It’s far from the easiest listen, but the rewards are there for the giving TPAB the attention it thoroughly […]
ALBUMS Chastity Belt – Time to Go Home The Seattle band’s second LP is a brilliant testament to drunken mayhem and pondering self-reflection. Sounding a little like an all female version of DIIV. It is lyrically very open to confronting past regrets whilst, at the same time, feeling sedated to them and looking forward. Chiming […]

END OF YEAR 2015 – BOBBY COLCOMBE
