"Leaving LA" sits on Pure Comedy, the third album Josh Tillman made as Father John Misty, released in April 2017 on Sub Pop, with Bella Union handling the UK and Europe. It's Tillman's song alone, words and music, and he produced it with Jonathan Wilson, the two of them mixing it alongside engineer Trevor Spencer.
The record around it was mostly written in 2015 and aims high: progress and technology, fame, politics, the environment, aging, social media and human nature, with Tillman turning the lens on his own part in all of it. He spelled out what it meant in a long essay mailed to his fan club, and it was his third album since walking away from Fleet Foxes.
