Father John Misty—the former Fleet Foxes member Josh Tillman—has announced the follow-up to his great 2012 album Fear Fun. I Love You, Honeybear is out February 9 in Europe via Bella Union and February 10 everywhere else via Sub Pop. That's the amazing artwork above.

Below, watch him perform the album cut "Bored in the USA" alongside a 22-piece string section on tonight's "Late Show With David Letterman".

Update: The Current have posted audio of Tillman's six-song set from July 2013, which features performances of "I Love You, Honeybear" and "Bored in the USA". Listen here.

The album was produced by Tillman and Jonathan Wilson (who also worked on Fear Fun), mixed by Phil Ek, and mastered by Greg Calbi at Sterling Sound.

In addition to the standard digital, CD, and 2xLP editions, the album will receive a limited edition deluxe 2xLP alternate cover on tricolor vinyl housed in something called a "Dioramic, Meta-Musical Funtime gatefold jacket". All CDs and LPs will come with a fold-out poster featuring photos by Emma Tillman, design from Alia Penner, and extensive “Exercises for Listening” written by Josh Tillman. CD and LP pre-orders will come with eight demos on cassette while supplies last.

The LP's press release comes with a letter from Tillman detailing the album's concept. Spoiler: The word "blammo" is used frequently and effectively. Read the whole thing below the tracklist.

Also below are a series of freshly announced tour dates. On the tour, he'll be backed by a seven-piece band. King Tuff, Guy Blakeslee, and Luluc are all set to open at various dates.
