Sinking into Chloë and the Next 20th Century’s lush, sepia-toned arrangements, escaping with him is a pleasure.” The Guardian – 4 stars **** (Album of the Week) “Tillman’s writerly skills would have shone in any era... He offers a moving reminder of the beauty of life’s impermanence... As Chloë and the Next 20th Century sees Father John Misty escaping into his own parallel Hollywood reality, it’s highly entertaining to slip in alongside him.” MOJO – 4 stars **** “Another multi-faceted triumph... Chloë and the Next 20th Century contains songs that go right to the gut with their instant melodic charm, and are deeply striking thanks to their sumptuous arrangements, exceptional playing and emotional pull.” Uncut – 8/10 “An instant classic... Tillman has written his masterpiece.” Mail On Sunday – 5 stars ***** “Chloë.. is maximum Misty from tip to twinkly toe... As woodwinds flutter and strings swoon, Tillman’s voice rises to the occasion: his rich, warm delivery pulls you into the songs, barbed asides and beautiful melancholy impeccably balanced... Tillman’s writing brims with story-song riches, countering 21st-century cynicism with old-school romanticism.” Record Collector – 4 stars **** “Album number 5 from Father John Misty is his most widescreen yet... astonishing music full of big ideas... A triumph.” Shindig – 5 stars ***** (Album of the Month) “On Chloë and the Next 20th Century, Father John Misty is transporting himself to another world; it sounds pretty damn sweet over there.” DIY – 9/10 “He gets the balance right here, letting his smoky croon melt into the background, behind strings and woozy brass.” Rolling Stone UK – 4 stars **** “Dazzling... We have seventies-style ragtime, ballroom-inflected tracks like Chloë and Funny Girl, and epic, string-drenched ballads like Q4.” HiFi Choice – 5 stars ***** “Brilliant and moving... His vivid, imaginative fifth album swerves between lounge jazz and romantic reveries.” PROG “Unmistakeably a Father John Misty record, he ranges across a number of styles with panache... It’s great to have Tillman back in all his grandiose brilliance.” Morning Star – 4 stars ****
