Sep 14, 2016 By Christopher Roberts Father John Misty

The ever prolific Father John Misty (aka Josh Tillman) has written an amusing new song, “This Is America,” for the strangely titled Adult Swim show Brad Neely’s Harg Nallin’ Sclopio Peepio. Below you can watch an animated version of Tillman perform the song in a clip from the season one finale of the show (which airs Sunday, September 18 at 11:45 PM Eastern). The song is mainly about Go-Gurt, but also includes a man dressed as Batman and a crazy unicyclist, among other things. It’s basically about stupid ways people have killed themselves.

Father John Misty’s excellent February 2015-released sophomore album, I Love You, Honeybear, was Under the Radar’s #1 album of 2015. Consequently, Father John Misty was on the cover of our Best of 2015 print issue and you can read that cover story article here. Also read our earlier 2015 print article on Father John Misty and our earlier 2015 bonus Q&A with Tillman (also read our 2012 interview with him).
