Father John Misty has shared a video trailer for his new album, ‘I Love You, Honeybear’.

Click above to watch the promo, which features snippets of tracks that will feature on the artist’s second album under the Father John Misty name. ‘I Love You, Honeybear’ follows 2012’s ‘Fear Fun’ and is set for release on February 9, 2015.

Misty – aka former Fleet Foxes member and solo artist Josh Tillman – previously released a lengthy explanation about the album in a press release. Speaking about the LP, he said: “‘I Love You, Honeybear’ is a concept album about a guy named Josh Tillman who spends quite a bit of time banging his head against walls, cultivating weak ties with strangers and generally avoiding intimacy at all costs. This all serves to fuel a version of himself that his self-loathing narcissism can deal with. We see him engaging in all manner of regrettable behavior.”

“In a parking lot somewhere he meets Emma, who inspires in him a vision of a life wherein being truly seen is not synonymous with shame, but possibly true liberation and sublime, unfettered creativity. These ambitions are initially thwarted as jealousy, self-destruction and other charming human character traits emerge. Josh Tillman confesses as much all throughout.”

Misty recently made an appearance on US TV chat show David Letterman to perform a track from the LP, ‘Bored In The USA’, accompanied by a 22-piece string orchestra. You can watch footage of his performance below.
