Father John Misty (aka Josh Tillman) released a new album, Chloë and the Next 20th Century, last month via Sub Pop/Bella Union (stream it here). Last night he was the musical guest on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where he performed the album’s “Kiss Me (I Loved You)” with a full band, including a string section. Watch it below, followed by Father John Misty’s upcoming tour dates.

Read our review of Chloë and the Next 20th Century here. In his review, our writer Kyle Kersey says “Chloë and the Next 20th Century is a variety show, a series of vignettes orbiting around a bygone era.”

In January Father John Misty shared the album’s first single, “Funny Girl,” via a video. The song made our Songs of the Week list. Then he shared the album’s second single, “Q4,” via a video that plays as one long opening titles sequence to a classic movie from the 1950s or 1960s and announced two shows at New York City’s iconic Rainbow Room, both happening on April 14. Then he shared the album’s third single, “Goodbye Mr. Blue,” which was one of our Songs of the Week, and performed the song with a string section on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. He also shared a cinematic video for “Goodbye Mr. Blue,” which was filmed in and around Sofia, Bulgaria. Then he shared one last pre-release single from it, seven-minute album closer and almost title track “The Next 20th Century.” He also announced some new 2022 and 2023 tour dates that include shows in North America, the UK, and Europe. Then he shared a video for the album’s “Kiss Me (I Loved You).”

Chloë and the Next 20th Century was produced by longtime collaborator Jonathan Wilson. It was engineered and mixed by Dave Cerminara and features arrangements by Drew Erickson.

Father John Misty’s last album, God’s Favorite Customer, was released in 2018 via Sub Pop, and it was one of our Top 100 Albums of 2018.
