I Love You, Honeybear, Father John Misty's second album released in 2015, was recorded primarily at Shangri-La Studios in Malibu, California, known for its oceanfront location and vintage equipment. The album was produced by Father John Misty (Josh Tillman) alongside Jack Antonoff, who played an instrumental role in shaping the record's lush orchestral arrangements and pop sensibilities. Recording took place over several months in 2014 and early 2015, with Antonoff's production style helping to expand the sonic palette beyond the folk-influenced debut with more elaborate instrumentation and studio layering. The album featured contributions from various session musicians and was mixed at multiple studios, including work with engineer Michael Brauer, reflecting the meticulous attention to detail in the production process. The record marked a significant artistic shift for Tillman toward more accessible, orchestral pop while maintaining his maximalist approach to arrangement and production.
