Father John Misty: "Funtimes In Babylon" Video Premiere + Tour Dates


Here's the new video for the opening track from Father John Misty's debut album, Fear Fun. Band leader Josh Tillman (below), who co-directed “the clip” with Grant James, said this about the video:


"Music videos don't need blurbs.  It's like putting a brief summary before a Garfield comic strip.  Also when did everyone start calling them "clips"?  A "clip" is an excerpt of a whole, I thought.  Whoever post’s this, don't spoil the ending in your blurb, which will probably read like this: "Seattle based folk beardo Father John Murphy mopes around a deserted, apocalyptic landscape (and shows off some of those infamous dance moves) in this Josh Tillman directed clip for "Funtimes In Babylon"."
