Father John Misty has released a new EP called Anthem +3. The four-track release opens with a new cover of Leonard Cohen’s “Anthem” (from 1992’s The Future). Rounding out the EP are three songs that Misty has previously covered: Link Wray’s “Fallin’ Rain,” Yusuf / Cat Stevens’ “Trouble,” and Leonard Cohen’s “One of Us Cannot Be Wrong.” Listen below.

Anthem +3 will be available on Father John Misty’s Bandcamp page, in conjunction with the site’s fee-free sales day for artists. Proceeds from the EP will benefit CARE Action and Ground Game LA. The EP will then be released across DSPs on July 14 (via Sub Pop/Bella Union).

In March, Father John Misty shared the live album Off-Key in Hamburg. His latest studio LP is 2018’s God’s Favorite Customer.
