Even though it’s a little disappointing to hear Josh playing it so safe stylistically on the heels of Pure Comedy, God’s Favorite Customer more often than not delivers the sharp songwriting that Father John Misty is known for and admirably tackles some pretty dark and personal topics.

-
Beach House bounces back with their most adventurous album since Teen Dream.
-
Playboi Carti’s debut album is intoxicating in its simplicity.
