Father John Misty has announced his highly anticipated new studio album, Mahashmashana, set to release on November 22nd via Sub Pop and Bella Union. Fans of the singer-songwriter are eagerly awaiting the upcoming record, which marks his first studio album in over two years. The album is self-produced, with Drew Erickson and Jonathan Wilson assisting on executive production.
The first glimpse of Mahashmashana comes with the release of its lead single, “Screamland.” This seven-minute musical epic features guitar work by Alan Spearhawk of Low, setting the tone for what promises to be an expansive and sonically adventurous album.
Despite containing only eight tracks, Mahashmashana clocks in at an impressive 50 minutes. The tracklist includes three previously released singles: “I Guess Time Makes Fools of Us All,” “She Cleans Up,” and “Josh Tillman and The Accidental Dose,” all of which are fan favorites. The album’s title, Mahashmashana, translates to “great cremation ground, all things put going thither,” hinting at the thematic depth fans can expect from the project.
