Check Out the First Single from Father John Misty's Upcoming Album


"Chateau Lobby #4 (In C for Two Virgins)" is the first single from Father John Misty's upcoming album I Love You, Honeybear. Father John Misty, formerly of Fleet Foxes, has been releasing solo recordings under his name J. Tillman since the early 2000's. I Love You, Honeybear will be his second album as Father John Misty.

Tillman's vocal style on this song has a stream of consciousness quality reminiscent of Sun Kil Moon's critically acclaimed 2014 album Benji. The rambling lyrics make for an interesting contrast to the swelling string section and mariachi horns:

I want to take you in the kitchen
Lift up your wedding dress someone was probably murdered in.

 "Chateau Lobby #4 (In C for Two Virgins)" feels exciting because it sounds different than any of the music that came out in 2014, a year which felt musically stagnant.  I Love You, Honeybear is set to be released on February 10th.
