I Love You, Honeybear

Father John Misty

Orchestral folk-rock that pairs 1970s Laurel Canyon warmth with razor-sharp, meta-textual lyrics about intimacy and existential dread.

February 9, 2015 · Sub Pop

A grand, orchestral collision of genuine romantic devotion and biting existential cynicism.

Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive, drum-heavy climax of the title track that feels like a cinematic apocalypse.
The inclusion of a canned laugh track during the most depressing lines of Bored in the USA.
The sudden shift from a gentle acoustic strum to a frantic, distorted breakdown in Holy Shit.
