The song dwells on a dark cloud of hopelessness over a persistent harpsichord-forward march, and feels a little dark and feverish while reminding me quite a bit of MONO\u2019s classic hit single, \u201cLife in Mono.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Payoff\u201d was co-produced with Drew Erickson, who Tillman worked with on his last two Father John Misty albums. There\u2019s no official word whether this is a single from a forthcoming full release or just a standalone track. What we do know is that Father John Misty is on tour this summer, with a stop at Milwaukee\u2019s Summerfest on June 19.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"\">Best new indie music this week<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"rte2-style-ul\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">\n<li>Father John Misty, \u201cThe Payoff\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Slippers, \u201cWasted Tonight\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Alex Izenberg, \u201cOld Gold\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Boards of Canada, \u201cProphecy At 1420 MHz\u201d<\/li>\n<li>RIP Magic, \u201cScrewdark\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Kelela, \u201clinknb<\/li>\n<li>Allison Russell, \u201cCold April (ft.
