Reviews
"It makes for an album that constantly excavates your mind and soul....HONEYBEAR is easily a masterpiece and already one of the best albums of 2015.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "An autobiographical set about love, marriage and derangement that's both ironic and empathic -- an approach connecting him less to his previous band, Fleet Foxes, than to the SoCal tradition of Randy Newman, Harry Nilsson and Beck.", "An album by turns passionate and disillusioned, tender and angry, so cynical it's repulsive and so openhearted it hurts. Misty is at root a folksinger...", "Every Tune Is Loaded with Gorgeous Strings, Twangy Guitars, and Tillman’S Angelic Voice.", "He saves the best for a piano ballad, previous single 'Bored In The USA', which undercuts the lyric’s narcissism with a canned-laughter track -- an exquisite touch, and a song Randy Newman would kill to have written, you suspect.", "The stream-of-consciousness enthusiasm buoys the album as he wraps his songs in a lovestuck, string-laden bow, complete with quivering banjos.", "If there's a funnier, stranger and more touchingly bizarre album released this year, it will be a very good year indeed.", "The LP’s most striking moments meditate on the sublime and deeply complicated art of sharing life with a single partner."
