What people are saying about Pure Comedy:

“A sprawling, incisive, exasperating, hilarious, and yes, petulant look at modern life” - New York Times

“...His sly yet compassionate new album, Pure Comedy...dials back some of the sarcasm and posing — and much of the busy musical action — of his previous work in favor of stately but earnestly presented tunes about the necessity of human connection.” - LA Times

“By lulling listeners with a gorgeous melody only to confront them with something such as human extinction, he believes he’s aiming for a loftier target….With Pure Comedy, he hits it. Although it was written and recorded prior to the 2016 U.S. election, Misty’s third album is almost unnervingly prescient in its political and religious commentary, no doubt informed by Tillman’s devout Christian upbringing. It’s a behemoth of a record, not only for its 75-minute running time, but its exploration of existential questions.” - Globe and Mail
