Father John Misty is back already with another track from his long-awaited new LP Pure Comedy.

"Ballad Of The Dying Man" follows "Two Wildly Different Perpsectives", lead cut "Pure Comedy", Misty's looong essay, and a 25-minute short film.

The track, about deathbed regret, is led by duelling keys and guitars which gradually ramp up and collide with a choir in a gorgeous, emotional climax.

Tracklist:

Pure Comedy
Total Entertainment Forever
Things It Would Be Helpful to Know Before the Revolution
Ballad of the Dying Man
Birdie
Leaving LA
A Bigger Paper Bag
When the God of Love Returns There'll Be Hell to Pay
Smoochie
Two Wildly Different Perspectives
The Memo
So I’m Growing Old On Magic Mountain
In Twenty Years or So

Pure Comedy is released 7 April via Bella Union. Pre-order now.
