In the past we've avoided posting midyear best albums lists. It seemed somehow impatient and premature to evaluate the year's albums halfway through. And how do you decide which period the list covers, which arbitrary release date do you work out is the cut off point, as every midyear list seems to cover a different period? But 2017 is a year that demands a partial evaluation. More

Father John Misty was on Conan last night. He performed "I Love You, Honeybear," the title track to his acclaimed second album from earlier this year.

For Under the Radar's 13th annual Artist Survey we emailed some of our favorite artists a few questions relating to 2015. We asked them about their favorite albums of the year and their thoughts on various notable 2015 news stories involving either the music industry or world events, as well as some quirkier personal questions. Here are some answers from Josh Tillman, who records as Father John Misty. Father John Misty's excellent February 2015-released sophomore album, I Love You, Honeybear, was Under the Radar's #1 album of 2015.  More

It's only three shows into his tour, and Josh Tillman is struggling. The songs from I Love You, Honeybear-his critically-acclaimed second release as Father John Misty-are proving to be "inhospitable environments," and he can't find the right way to inhabit them on stage every night. More

Only in this day and age could the most human album in a long time be produced by an alter-ego. Joshua Tillman's second go-round as Father John Misty, I Love You, Honeybear, finds the character going through every cycle of life, from lust to love to fear to hopelessness to depression to loneliness, only interrupted by the occasional bout of happiness. More

The final day of a three-day music festival is usually a bitter-sweet affair. While there's a part of you doesn't want the incredible performances and time-out-of-time experience to end and real life to take over again, another part of you is utterly relieved not to have to trek for miles across muddy fields, eat overpriced festival food and stand in long lines for porta potties.
