Ex-Fleet Foxes member dazzles with orchestral indie-pop/rock
“An album by turns passionate and disillusioned, tender and angry, so cynical it's repulsive and so openhearted it hurts.” (PITCHFORK - Best New Music)
“Grand arrangements in the style of Randy Newman and Harry Nilsson.” (MOJO)
“Een ode aan de grandeur van LA, in arrangementen met een strik rond. Soms bikkelharde maar nooit bittere liefdesliedjes.” (FOCUS KNACK - Album vd Week)
On his second album ‘I Love You, Honeybear’ (Sub Pop/Bella Union) – and with a flair à la Nick Cave – Joshua Tillman (Father John Misty's real name) waltzes through a subversive world full of orchestral indie-pop/rock (Sufjan Stevens in an enduring pairing-dance with Elliot Smith, Randy Newman, John Grant and Brian Wilson) doused in lush romance and ambiguous lyrics full of irony and sarcasm.
