Father John Misty - Mahashmashana (2024)
Father John Misty's sixth studio album, Mahashmashana, released on November 22, 2024, delves into themes of mortality and existential reflection. The title, derived from the Sanskrit word for "cremation ground," sets a contemplative tone. The album features lush orchestral arrangements, with tracks like the nine-minute title piece showcasing expansive instrumentation. Critics have noted the album's adventurous spirit, with songs such as "She Cleans Up" and "I Guess Time Just Makes Fools of Us All" blending various styles, from jittery blasts to disco-funk rhythms. While some tracks may appear whimsically disjointed, the overall composition offers a compelling and intoxicating journey, marking a bold chapter in Father John Misty's musical exploration.
