Father John Misty’s video for “She Cleans Up,” filmed in Grand Rapids
GRAND RAPIDS, MI - Father John Misty has released the official music video for his latest single, "She Cleans Up," filmed in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

"She Cleans Up" is a single from his forthcoming album Mahashmashana, set to release on November 22, 2024, via Sub Pop. The song blends Tillman's introspective lyricism with his signature lush production, continuing the thematic journey introduced in earlier releases like "Screamland." The video’s surreal, almost hypnotic imagery complements the song’s reflective nature, drawing viewers into a world of subtle movement and ambient sound.
In the video, Father John Misty’s slow, deliberate dance adds to the hypnotic effect of the music, turning Grand Rapids into a dreamy landscape. The psychedelic visuals amplify this effect, creating a fluid connection between the music and the visuals, offering fans a visually immersive experience that echoes the emotional depth of the track.
This video arrives as Misty prepares for his 2025 tour, with stops across the U.S. and Europe. "She Cleans Up" sets the stage for the introspective yet experimental sound expected on Mahashmashana, and fans can look forward to more from the artist in the months ahead.
