Father John Misty
Father John Misty is sharing the official video for 'Buddy's Rendevous', directed by filmmaker and photographer Emma Elizabeth Tillman (The History of Caves; The Wheel), Taken from recent album Chloë and The Next 20th Century.
Discussing the video Emma comments: “‘Buddy’s Rendezvous’ is a world unto itself. It is a place out of time. My dream for the video is that it would surrender itself to the power of the song. An unnamed man, fresh out of jail and down on his luck makes his way across the fractured landscape of Los Angeles to meet his daughter. All the while he is beset by memories of a more innocent time. Despite her hesitance, his daughter and her boyfriend agree to meet her father and find moments of sadness and sparks of tenderness in the connection made. Although the video and the song can be considered love letters to Los Angeles, the themes are universal. Disappointments, regrets, forgiveness, tenderness, perseverance, and love. Cinematography by James Wall on 16mm evokes the down and out feeling of LA, merging past and present.”
Also shared is Lana Del Rey’s gorgeous cover of "Buddy's Rendevous" available for the first time on all DSPs having previously only been available as a 7” single included with the limited edition box set of Chloë and The Next 20th Century.
