Father John Misty’s new album ‘Pure Comedy’ is set to land on April 7th, featuring the already unveiled title track, ‘Total Entertainment Forever’ and ‘Ballad Of The Dying Man’. He’ll return to the UK at the end of this month for a slot at this year’s 6 Music Festival before a headline slot later in the summer at End Of The Road.
