Product description

Father John Misty's third studio album, Pure Comedy, is a thought-provoking and sonically rich masterpiece that showcases his unique blend of chamber pop. Released on 7 April 2017 via Sub Pop Records, this 1 hour and 14-minute long album is a captivating journey that delves into the complexities of human existence.

With tracks like 'Total Entertainment Forever' and 'Things It Would Have Been Helpful to Know Before the Revolution', Father John Misty weaves a narrative that is both poignant and humorous, often blurring the lines between satire and social commentary. The album's eclectic sound is evident in songs such as 'Ballad of the Dying Man' and 'Leaving LA', which showcase Father John Misty's ability to craft infectious melodies and introspective lyrics.

Throughout Pure Comedy, Father John Misty's distinctive voice and perspective shine through, tackling themes of love, technology, and the human condition. With its intricate arrangements and poetic lyrics, this album is a testament to Father John Misty's skill as a songwriter and storyteller. From the wry observations of 'A Bigger Paper Bag' to the introspective musings of 'So I'm Growing Old on Magic Mountain', Pure Comedy is an album that will resonate with listeners long after the music fades.

This 2LP set is pressed on Black vinyl.

  • UK Discs in US Sleeve?

    5 out of 5 stars
    VX8959November 12, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Hey, so I've got SP1200 on my matrix etchings, and also BELLA-628-V? Has anyone else come across this? The album cover's spine says SP1200, so I'm a bit puzzled. Am I holding UK discs in a US sleeve?

  • Faulty Headphones Twice

    3 out of 5 stars
    PqJdizdfoyiOctober 17, 2025United States🇺🇸

    The version I got had awful seam tearing on every edge of both sleeves, and sides C and D sound awful (distortion, hiss, static, etc.) I requested a exchange that arrived today-- identical problems.

  • Loud, Quality Sound

    4 out of 5 stars
    rpduar93October 11, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Loud as anything but the sound quality's solid, just like the black vinyl one.

  • First Song Noise, Decent

    3 out of 5 stars
    bawdoorfjiab5September 26, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Noticeable one-time noise during the first song on side one. Apart from that, it's quite decent.

  • Vinyl Quality Decent

    5 out of 5 stars
    kopyixntSeptember 24, 2025United States🇺🇸

    My version has a fair bit of crackles and pops on tracks 1-3, but it's not too bad. There's some hissing on the other songs, but it doesn't ruin the listening experience. Overall, it's a solid buy. If you're a real audiophile, you might want to stick with the regular black pressing though.
