Father John Misty shares cover of Nirvana’s ‘Heart Shaped Box’

In suitably celebratory mood, Father John Misty shared a cover of the Nirvana classic, ‘Heart Shaped Box’ yesterday as a Valentine’s gift to fans.

His acoustic take on the track follows the release of album, ‘I Love You, Honeybear’ last week, which today reached Number 14 in the UK Albums Chart.

Currently on tour in North America, he returns to the UK later this month, first playing the BBC 6 Music Festival on Tyneside, and then a short string of headline dates in the UK and Ireland.
