Father John Misty – “Screamland”

Josh Tillman has said he’ll be releasing a new Father John Misty album before the year is over. Assuming that’s true, he’s going about the rollout in a very Tillman fashion: Being cryptic and secretive and sneaky about it. I don’t envy the hardcore Mistyheads for this reason. But a couple of weeks ago, Tillman uploaded an eight-second clip of a new song to YouTube, titled only “9/17.” Today, two days before Sept. 17, he sent out a private link for the song to fans via text message.

The song is called “Screamland,” and you can find that sneaky link to listen to it here. It’s a whopping 11-and-a-half minutes long, culminating into one big, rocking outro portion — two songs in one, it seems. It’s just the latest new song Tillman has been teasing lately. Text +1 (323) 443-1930 if you want more of those secret little updates.
