Father John Misty (aka Josh Tillman) has announced a new album, Mahashmashana, and shared a new song from it, the near-seven-minute long “Screamland,” via a music video. The song features Alan Sparhawk from Low on guitar. Mahashmashana is due out November 22 worldwide via Sub Pop (except for the UK and Europe, where it’s a Bella Union release). Check out “Screamland” below, followed by the album’s tracklist and cover artwork, as well as Father John Misty’s upcoming tour dates, including some newly announced UK and EU shows.

In July Father John Misty announced and released a new best of album, Greatish Hits: I Followed My Dreams and My Dreams Said to Crawl. It included one new song, “I Guess Time Just Makes Fools of Us All,” which is also featured on Mahashmashana, and was one of our Songs of the Week. A press release says that “She Cleans Up” and “Josh Tillman and The Accidental Dose” will also be singles from the album.

Father John Misty’s last studio album was 2022’s Chloë and The Next 20th Century.

Tillman produced Mahashmashana with Drew Erickson and Jonathan Wilson executive produced the album.

Estefania Kröl directed the “Screamland” video and had this to say about it in the press release: “The video is a visual journey through the depths of ‘Screamland,’ capturing the essence of both the music and the artists. Father John Misty blends seamlessly into the scene, becoming a part of the city, a living echo of ‘Screamland.’”
