"Nancy From Now On" comes from Fear Fun, the album Father John Misty released in April 2012, and Josh Tillman wrote every word and note of it. He produced it with Jonathan Wilson, who also plays bass and engineered the session alongside Hugo Nicolson, with Wylie Gelber assisting. Keefus Ciancia sits at the piano, Gabriel Noel supplies the strings, and Phil Ek mixed the lot. It's a sly, woozy bit of pop, as charming as it is suspicious of its own charm, and a few stations have kept it on their countdowns for more than a decade.
