God’s Favorite Customer
bella union
the troubadour-provocateur plays his heartbreak with a straight bat for his most succinct, direct and devastating work yet.
reflecting on the experience of being caught between the vertigo of heartbreak and the manic throes of freedom, tillman finds something new and surprising: a sense of refinement. there is also a bittersweetness in his songwriting here, without sacrificing any of his wit or taste for the absurd. The album features some cool contributions from Haxan Cloak, Weyes Blood, and Jonathan Wilson. “This is a heady journey through excess, absurdity and 21st century mores from arguably the world's most eloquent singer-songwriter” 8/10 – q magazine
