Everybody loves Father John Misty.
The singer's new album 'I Love You, Honeybear' has arrived to outstanding reviews, not least of all from his fellow musicians.
Gold Lake finished recording their own album last year, with Phil Ek at the controls. As luck would have it, Phil had previously worked on Father John Misty's 'Fear Fun' and a connection was made.
Grabbing a copy of the American artist's new album, the group became entranced. Let's allow them to take up the story…
"When we were mixing our album with Phil (Ek) he'd recently finished mixing Father John Misty's 'Fear Fun', at the same studio (Avast) we were working at, and we loved it. And Phil would tell us fun stories about when they were mixing that album there. We have many great memories of our experience in Seattle during the mixing of our album and in a way the songs of Fear Fun are closely tied to those memories too.”
“So when 'I Love You, Honeybear' came out we quickly listened to it and loved it! The day after hearing it for the first time, Carlos turned on our 60s Farfisa Organ and he switched on the vintage drum machine inside it. He recorded it onto our laptop and we started jamming 'True Affection' to the rhythm he'd recorded. And in a-sort-of-homage-have-a-good-time kind of way, we ended up recording the song. We did it in one take. All good memories in the end!"
