Father John Misty has released the new single and video, “Goodbye Mr. Blue,” from the upcoming album, Chloë and The Next 20th Century. The album will be out April 8 on Sub Pop and Bella Union.
There is a story to tell and the wording on the YouTube description of the video release of “Goodbye Mr. Blue,” is as follows:
“Chepan mountain is a rocky hump 1186 metres high about 47 kilometres northwest of Sofia. Its southern face overlooks the largest wetland in Bulgaria, the Dragoman Marsh.
“A furlong from the edge of the marsh, a circular gully about 50 metres in diameter was gouged out of the foot of the mountain by heavy machinery at some time in September 2016, according to satellite data.
“No one has explained who made the excavation or why, but its sandy walls and proximity to the marsh have provided an ideal home for the region’s most colourful coraciiform, the European Bee-Eater (Merops apiaster). Contrary to local folklore, the species is typically monogamous only during a nesting season, and will often find a new mate each year after migration.”
