Father John Misty

Before the live recording at CityFolk on September 16, 2017, Father John Misty had just released his fourth studio album, 'Pure Comedy,' earlier that year. This album, which delves deep into social and philosophical reflections with his trademark wit, marked a significant evolution in his sound and lyrical complexity. The performance of 'Hollywood Forever Cemetery Sings' at the festival highlights his ability to connect with audiences, capturing the essence of his live presence. It's interesting to note that 'Fear Fun,' the album from which this song originated, was his major breakthrough, and took him from indie folk obscurity to a more prominent spot in the music scene. His blend of humor and melancholy resonates with fans, making these live moments special and memorable.
