Father John Misty – “This Is Sally Hatchet” (Dir. Grant James)

In which J. Tillman successfully continues his post-Fleet Foxes reinvention as a Godard-film badass. In this one, he’s inexplicably wrapping a mutilated hand up in a rag while firing off a shotgun in a dilapidated basement as blaxploitation-heroine chicks dance around him. None of it makes the tiniest bit of sense (that pizza cut into a pentagram?), and all of it looks awesome. That shot, near the end, of an aviator-sunglasses-clad Tillman getting his cigarette lit for him, is an absolute all-timer.
