Father John Misty
I Love You, Honeybear
Seattle, WA
(Sub Pop)
I Love You, Honeybear is Joshua Tillman’s second effort under the moniker Father John Misty. Written by Tillman and produced by Jonathan Wilson, the album serves as a love letter to his Emma Elizabeth Tillman – who played a dominatrix in the video for Fear Fun‘s “Nancy From Now On” – but also serves as a window into Tillman’s musical evolution.

Standout tracks on the album include the gorgeous and equally catchy “Chateau Lobby #4” (which gets its name for the place where Tillman met his wife), the brutally truthful and cynical “Holy Shit” and the soul music-tinged “When You’re Smiling and Astride Me.”
