Just months after releasing his latest album, Pure Comedy, Father John Misty told the audience at his show Sunday night in Sydney he intends to release another one next year.

"I'm mixing it next week," he announced as he took questions from the Aussie crowd, adding, perhaps jokingly: "It's called Pure Comedy 2. You're gonna love it."

This bit of news follows a busy year for the musician, who has been on tour supporting his latest album, with a new North American leg starting in September. He also performed on Saturday Night Live and appeared at a number of big festivals, including Coachella, Glastonbury and Splendour in the Grass.
