Father John Misty has announced his sixth album. Mahashmashana will be out November 22 through Sub Pop Records, and the video for "Screamland" is out now.

Mahāśmaśāna is a Sanskrit word, and a press release defines it as a "great cremation ground, all things put going thither." The album consists of eight songs with a runtime of 50 minutes.

"Screamland" is a seven-minute piano power ballad featuring Low's Alan Sparhawk on guitar. The eight-minute song "I Guess Time Makes Fools of Us All" already came out this summer as part of FJM's Greatest Hits compilation.
