Father John Misty played a new track, “Bored in the USA,” on The Late Show With David Letterman on November 3. The performance also served as the announcement for upcoming album I Love You, Honeybear via Sub Pop Records.
The album will be available for most of the world on February 10. In Europe, the album will be released February 9 via Bella Union. I Love You, Honeybear is the sophomore album of Father John Misty (Josh Tillman), the follow-up to his debut, Fear Fun. The album is already available for pre-order in several formats: CD, digital, standard 2xLP in a gatefold jacket and on black vinyl and limited edition deluxe 2XLP alternate-cover version on tricolor vinyl in a Dioramic, Meta-Musical Funtime gatefold jacket.
“”I Love You, Honeybear was recorded all through 2013 to 2014 in Los Angeles with producer Jonathan Wilson, who I also recorded and produced 2012’s Fear Fun with. There’s a case to be made that it sounds and acts a bit like solo-era John Lennon, Scott Walker, Randy Newman, Harry Nilsson, and Dory Previn, while taking more than a few cues from Woody Allen, Kurt Vonnegut, Alejandro Jodorowsky and Muhammad Ali,” says the singer-songwriter. “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.”
Father John Misty will be touring in North America and Europe in support of his new album, January through April 2015.
