Performs on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
Outdoor Stage October 14th
Extends 2015 tour schedule to include New Zealand & Australian appearances
Father John Misty has delivered a hilariously meta new video for “The Night Josh Tillman Came To Our Apartment,” a standout from I Love You, Honeybear, his acclaimed album. The new visual was helmed by writer-director-producer Drew Pearce (Iron Man 3, Mission: Impossible -- Rogue Nation).
Tillman says of the clip: “This video is partially inspired by the LeBron James quote "It is precisely the superficial differences between people who are otherwise alike that inform the hostilities between them." Special thanks to my body double Tyler who I had to kiss no fewer than two dozen times and whose breath I can still smell in my mind's eye.”
Meanwhile Pearce adds: "It has been an honor to explore the palpable sexual chemistry that exists between Josh Tillman and himself. I hope this video does their enduring love affair justice.”
Father John Misty has extended his 2015 tour schedule in support of I Love You, Honeybear. The trek will resume tonight, September 18th in Indianapolis, IN at Egyptian Room at Old National Centre and currently ends December 11th-13th in Perth, AU at Disconnect Festival. New tour highlights include: November 15th in Stockholm, SE at Berns Hotel; November 16th & 17th in Copenhagen, DK for a two-night stand at Vega; And a short tour of New Zealand and Australia December 3rd-13th, which includes a headline performance at the legendary Sydney Opera House on December 8th. Please find a complete list of tour dates below.

What people are saying about Father John Misty:
“This warped, lovely album suggests that a true longtime partnership isn’t two people who love each other even for their flaws, but of two people accepting decay--their own and each other’s--and choosing to ride it out nonetheless.” - New York Times
“The artist born Josh Tillman aims for grandiosity in his Father John Misty disguise, and his second album for Sub Pop repeatedly reaches such heights. A musical genie bottle with the spirits of Phil Spector, Lee Hazlewood and Brian Wilson corked within, Tillman and co-producer Jonathan Wilson seem to revel in letting these sounds seep out and intermingle.” - Los Angeles Times
“His beloved Father John Misty debut was Fear Fun, issued in 2012. The new album, out now, is I Love You, Honeybear….and it is as good as, though quite different from, its predecessor.” - Wall Street Journal
“I Love You, Honeybear, an album by turns passionate and disillusioned, tender and angry, so cynical it's repulsive and so open hearted it hurts.” [8.8 / 10, “Best New Music”] - Pitchfork
“Upping the spectacle from Fear Fun his 2012 debut, I Love You, Honeybear is an autobiographical set about love, marriage and derangement that's both ironic and empathic.” [4/5] - Rolling Stone
“If there's a funnier, stranger and more touchingly bizarre album released this year, it will be a very good year indeed.” [4/5] -Billboard
“This is a gorgeous album.” [10/10] - Exclaim
“For all the layers of irony on I Love You, Honeybear, the biggest irony of all might be that such an ostensibly knotty and confusing album’s real strength lies in something as prosaic and transparent as its author’s ability to write a beautiful melody.” [5/5] - The Guardian
“Album of the Week” - Stereogum
