Late last week, Father John Misty released “The Old Law” a new single available on all digital streaming services worldwide from Sub Pop. The song was produced by Drew Erickson and Josh Tillman, mixed by Michael Harris and Jonathan Wilson at Fivestar Studios in Los Angeles, and mastered by Adam Amyan at Ayan Mastering. “The Old Law” is previously known to Father John Misty fans as “God’s Trash” and debuted as part of the live set in the fall of 2024.
Stereogum says of the track, “In this incarnation, “The Old Law” is a gnarly psych-pop track with lots of low end and many illustrious layers of guitar. It’s hard not to think about John Lennon’s songs on the post-touring Beatles albums, from the sardonic posture to the melodic sensibility.” NME offers this, “A blistering electric guitar solo rips through the middle section of ‘The Old Law’, making way for a psychedelic-flavoured, Beatles-esque instrumental. CLASH concludes, “It’s pristine Misty – refulgent, glittering, and witty…”
A little over a year later, “The Old Law” single follows the release of Mahashmashana, Father John Misty’s sixth long player in twelve years, released in November 2024.
Mahashmashana and its singles earned glowing reviews and “Best of” coverage from the likes of Variety, The Ringer, Vogue, Under the Radar, Uproxx, Stereogum, Brooklyn Vegan, The AV Club, PASTE, Consequence of Sound, PopMatters, GQ (UK), Philadelphia Inquirer, Pitchfork, New York Times, and The New Yorker, the latter who called the album “an aching monument to human imperfection.”
