Crunching guitars are the introduction to the new single from Father John Misty which steers off in an egg-man’s direction (goo-goo g’joob, g’goo goo g’joob), and that’s maybe not too surprising as whilst the song was produced by Drew Erickson and Josh Tillman, it was mixed by Michael Harris and Jonathan Wilson at Fivestar Studios in Los Angeles (and, for completion, mastered by Adam Amyan at Ayan Mastering).
The song has been previewed live already, when it was known as ‘God’s Trash’, but that was then and this is now and it’s called ‘The Old Law‘ and, amongst other things, suggests that for “God’s trash, there’s no law, except the old law.” Take that whichever way you might.
Currently Father John Misty has but one UK live performance planned for 2026 and it is at the Lido festival in London on June 12th alongside CMAT and Sharon Van Etten & The Attachment Theory.
