Father John Misty – I Loved You, Honeybee (Bella Union): Father John Misty has reworked the title track of his critically acclaimed I Love You, Honeybear released earlier this year. The newly arranged acoustic track is accompanied by another new track, ‘I’ve Never Been A Woman’. Oh, and it’s red and in the shape of a heart, meaning that not only will it sound amazing, but it will look beautiful as well.
Not content with simply releasing the best album of the year so far , Father John Misty has taken to video writing, co-penning the ideas behind his latest effort, I Love You Honeybear with his wife Emma and co-directing it with Grant James. The result, staring Brett Gelman (The Other Guys) and Susan Traylor (Greenberg) is meant to represent an average night in the life of two EMTs.
Was Father John Misty born with a bearded smirk on his face? “I Love You, Honeybear” suggests not. The singer-songwriter’s sophomore album hears him stare down what he sees as un-ironic, all-caps love and throw himself at her feet. He cuts himself wide open in the process, describing the fear manifest in becoming a leader of something as permanent as a family, which evokes his doubts about himself as much as his partner. Self-mocking balladry ensues.A fantastic year for Father John Misty, aka Josh Tillman, is looking likely to continue into the summer, with sets at Glastonbury and Green Man Festival to look forward to. Plus a tour of the UK in early 2016 ,
