Watch Father John Misty's Solemn, Sprawling Cover of Arcade Fire's "The Suburbs"

Rejoice, for Father John Misty has blessed us with new music. Original? No. Excellent? Most definitely.

The artist formerly known as J. Tillman covered Arcade Fire’s “The Suburbs” for CBC Music. The performance was shot at b.b gun leather, a garage workshop in a residential neighborhood—one might say a suburb—of East Vancouver. Misty’s skills are on full display in “The b.b. gun session” as he delivers a must-hear rendition of the title track from Arcade Fire’s Grammy-winning 2010 album.

The standout track may have been made even better in Misty’s more-than-capable hands. Stripped of its Old West saloon-style pianos, ambling bass line and orchestral underpinnings, “The Suburbs” proves beautifully bleak and subdued, just the way Misty likes it. He puts on a clinic vocally speaking, showing off an impeccable falsetto and even filling in the track’s closing guitar riff with a whistle solo.
