Unveiling the Cover of Paste Quarterly Issue #1: Father John Misty

Paste is excited to unveil the cover of our debut issue of Paste Quarterly, our new large-format print magazine. Paste music editor Bonnie Stiernberg spent a day in Los Angeles with Father John Misty for a 6,000-word cover story. in which Josh Tillman discusses why he says “I can’t go back to what I was doing last year” and how he plans to externalize Father John Misty this year (hint: it involves an elaborate, ritualistic stage show that includes multiple Father John Mistys, bears and banana peels).
“Some interviews, I know exactly what I’m walking into,” says Stiernberg, “but there are others where I have no idea what to expect from a particular person, and those always tend to wind up being my favorites. This one’s no exception.”
L.A. photographer Austin Hargrave (Vanity Fair, The Sunday Times) shot Tillman exclusively for the cover and interior of Paste Quarterly. The magazine ships March 1 to subscribers and will be available in select independent record stores beginning March 17.
