FATHER JOHN MISTY – “I Love You Honeybear ” Best Albums Of 2015

Father John Misty,”I Love You, Honeybear” aka Josh Tillman, has released the video for “I Love You, Honeybear” from this year’s album of the same name. Tillman co-wrote the video with his wife, Emma, and co-directed the video with Grant James, who also worked on two videos from Father John Misty’s 2012 LP, Fear Fun (“This Is Sally Hatchet”, “Funtimes in Babylon”). The video stars Brett Gelman (The Other Guys) and Susan Traylor (Greenberg). Tillman describes it as “a portrayal of an average night in the lives of two EMTs.”
He may sound like he wandered away from an L.A. ashram, but don’t be fooled by the beatific-hippie vibes. There’s a killer songwriter’s instinct beneath all those dreamy Laurel Canyon melodies the man can write a cutting lyric like nobody’s business).

On paper, “I Love You, Honeybear” is a nightmare: Suave yet cripplingly self-aware bearded bohemian millennial falls madly in love, grapples at length with becoming a different kind of walking cliché, and tops it off with an on-the-nose takedown of the American Dream. But what some listeners might register as smug self-indulgence strikes me as one of 2015’s realest and rawest dissertations. Josh Tillman’s misanthropy is far-reaching; he’s an equal-opportunity roaster, sparing no target including himself. His lyrical eviscerations are on-point and often laugh-out-loud funny, and they’re couched in throwback lounge-lizard arrangements far too pretty to be retro kitsch. Plus he sweetens the deal with some truly romantic declarations of love. This album is every bit as smart and beautiful as Tillman believes it is

Live On the World Café…..Father John Misty will feature the American folk singer-songwriter Father John Misty. A native of Washington D.C, the artist formally known as Josh T Tillman moved to Seattle when he was 21, where he eventually caught the eye of a Seattle recording artist Damien Jurado. Opening for Jurado lead to the creation of his debut album I Will Return which saw the conception of his rather angelic and serene tone that became a mainstay for further projects. Having been a member of bands such as Saxon Shore and Fleet Foxes, Tillman once again chose the solo route this time under his new moniker Father John Misty. His current project “I Love You, Honeybear” is set to release on February 15th and if featured singles such as the title track and “Bored in the USA” are concerned, the listener could expect to get a sense of longing, passion, and beautiful complacency.

FATHER JOHN MISTY – ” Chateau Lobby #4 (in C for Two Virgins), Nothing Good Ever Happens At The Goddamn Thirsty Crow, Strange Encounters , ” Live at WFUV

Father John Misty and his new album, “I Love You, Honeybear“, is out next week.  New York radio station WFUV has posted a video of a  session featuring the man himself and his beautiful voice ,Father John Misty performing three songs from the record: “Chateau Lobby #4 (In C for Two Virgins)”, “Strange Encounters”, and “Nothing Good Ever Happens at the Goddamn Thirsty Crow”. This is truly a wonderful session and just gives an insight into the new album. “I Love You, Honeybear’, a self-described “concept record about a guy called Josh Tillman”, which is a terminal smartarse’s way of saying it’s a confessional – and what a revelation it turns out to be.

 “I Love You, Honeybear” is out February 9th in Europe via Bella Union

Written around the time Tillman got hitched to this girlfriend, it’s a hugely ambitious, caustically funny album about the redemptive possibilities of love,  Songs like ‘The Night Josh Tillman Came To Our Apartment’ (“I love the kind of woman who can walk over a man/I mean like a goddamn marching band”) and ‘The Ideal Husband’ suggest a man whose soul needs, saving,

With a very Harry Nilsson-esque and a brilliant title ‘Nothing Good Ever Happens At The Goddamn Thirsty Crow’, the ambition pays off beautifully. But he saves the best for a piano ballad, previous single ‘Bored In The USA’, which undercuts the lyric’s narcissism (“Is this the part where I get all I ever wanted?”) with a canned-laughter track – an exquisite touch, and a song Randy Newman would kill to have written, What saves our narrator is – you guessed it – the love of a good woman, and closer ‘I Went To The Store One Day’ finds him finally flirting with happiness, a concept the “aimless, fake drifter” in him always figured was for squares (“For love to find us of all people/I never thought it’d be so simple”).
