God's Favorite Customer by Father John Misty

God's Favorite Customer is an Alt/Indie album by Father John Misty, originally released in 2018. On Gatefold: 18 pressings tracked, owned by 40 collectors.

About

Father John Misty’s fourth LP is not a happy one. <i>God’s Favorite Customer</i> was written during a two-month period when singer/songwriter Joshua Tillman was, as he sings on the glum title track, “on the straits.” Temporarily separated from his wife and struggling, he delivers a literal plea against suicide on “Please Don’t Die” and unravels in a hotel lobby on the twisted folk-pop song “Mr. Tillman.” Heartache has produced his most honest, anguished work yet—but even at its most morose, Father John Misty's music is still captivating.
