ICYMI: Father John Misty (aka Josh Tillman) released his incredibly great record I Love You, Honeybear with Sub Pop earlier this year. It’s an album packed with poetic yet hilarious (and often heartbreaking) lyrics, and fan favourite “The Night Josh Tillman Came To Our Apartment” is a highlight. In the song, Tillman goes on about an insufferable girl who says “like literally, music is the air she breathes”, but ultimately he’s no better than her. The video finds Tillman the object of his own infatuation, which is kinda perfect. In Tillman’s words…
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.
Video director Drew Pearce added…
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.
