I Love You, Honeybear, Josh Tillman's second album as Father John Misty, came out in February 2015 on Sub Pop, with Bella Union handling the UK and Europe. The former Fleet Foxes drummer produced it with Jonathan Wilson, Phil Ek mixed it, and Tillman called it a concept album. The concept is love itself: the record is built around his relationship with his wife, Emma.
So you get lush, swooning soft rock and baroque folk, strings and piano and mariachi-tinged flourishes, wrapped around a songwriter who can't stop needling himself and everyone around him. The satire bites hardest on "Bored in the USA", "The Ideal Husband" roughs up the romance, and "Chateau Lobby #4 (in C for Two Virgins)" is as sweet and goofy a love song as anyone made that year. Critics fell hard, and it landed on best-of-the-year lists all over. Pure Comedy came next.
