'Chloe and The Next 20th Century' is Father John Misty like you've never heard him before. Read ed_and_thestone's review:
are its most striking: The piano at the beginning of “Kiss Me ” is almost identical to that on “I Love You, Honeybear.” Yet on its sonic relative, seven years after the fact, there’s no driving percussion to propel it to an anthemic love song. Tillman’s beat up after the marital strife that marked, his voice shaky, distorted and distant.
Take “Goodbye Mr. Blue,” perhaps the album highlight. Over a fingerpicked guitar and a melody that more than just recalls “Everybody’s Talkin’” by Harry Nilsson, Tillman sings about the post-breakup death of the cat he got while in the relationship.
But it all pays off—it’s his masterpiece. Few artists today have an album like this in them, and it cements Tillman’s place among the best singer/songwriters around. It’s gorgeous. It’s heartbreaking. It’s timeless. It’s the sound of an artist who really went for it and succeeded wholeheartedly.New York Times
