Father John Misty To Return With 'I Love You, Honeybear', Confirms UK And Ireland Dates

Father John Misty will return with a new album, ‘I Love You, Honeybear’, on February 9 and follow its release with a string of UK and Ireland shows.
Josh Tillman’s follow up to 2012’s ‘Fear Fun’ was produced by Jonathan Wilson and recorded in LA. Discussing it, he wrote:
“It has a decidedly more soulful presence than Fear Fun, due in no small part to the fact that I am truly singing my ass off all over this motherfucker. The album is really characterized by the scope and ambition of the arrangements. Nearly every tune is augmented by something special, be it orchestral strings, a mariachi band, questionable electronic drum solos, ragtime jazz combos, soul singers, or what have you. I’m pretty sure there’s a sitar in there somewhere. Blammo.
“I Love You, Honeybear is a concept album about a guy named Josh Tillman who spends quite a bit of time banging his head against walls, cultivating weak ties with strangers and generally avoiding intimacy at all costs. This all serves to fuel a version of himself that his self-loathing narcissism can deal with. We see him engaging in all manner of regrettable behaviour.”
Tillman will hit the road later in February, with shows lined up in Dublin, Glasgow, Manchester, London, Leeds and Bristol. You can check out Bored in the USA from his recent appearance on Letterman below.
