Father John Misty Has a Tryst With Himself in "The Night Josh Tillman Came to Our Apartment" Video
After teasing it earlier this week, Father John Misty has shared the video for “The Night Josh Tillman Came to Our Apartment”, off this year’s excellent I Love You, Honeybear. It’s a surreal romance that sees a suave Josh Tillman approaching a bummed-out version of himself at a bar. They hit it off and proceed to snort cocaine, go swimming, and, finally, hook up. (Coincidentally, this is a narrative that Young Thug touched upon earlier this week in his “Best Friend” video). Check it out below.
The clip was directed by Drew Pearce, who co-wrote Iron Man 3 and Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation.
In a statement, Tillman said, “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.”
Pearce said, “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.”
