God’s Favorite Customer by Father John Misty
God’s Favorite Customer is an album by Father John Misty, released in 2018. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 19 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Mr. Tillman”, on 16 lists with a best position of #4.
God's Favorite Customer, Josh Tillman's fourth album as Father John Misty, came out on Sub Pop and Bella Union on June 1, 2018, hot on the heels of Pure Comedy and its bleak take on society, consumerism and politics. Tillman produced it mostly himself with Jonathan Rado, with old engineers Trevor Spencer and Dave Cerminara on hand and his longtime producer Jonathan Wilson chipping in, and the guest list runs from Mark Ronson to Weyes Blood and The Haxan Cloak, plus members of his touring band.
The sound leans into soft rock, with baroque-pop ornament and a little glam swagger, and the album even carries an alternate title, Mr Tillman's Wild Ride. "Mr. Tillman" puts the singer's own name up in lights, which is exactly the kind of move you'd expect from a writer famous for satire.
