Father John Misty Covers His 'Favorite Love Song': Nine Inch Nails' 'Closer'

Father John Misty is a big fan of romance—his latest album, I Love You, Honeybear, is chock full of adoring sentiments and loving odes—and he took it one step further with a super intense cover of a Nine Inch Nails favorite onstage.

Last night at Chicago's Riviera Theater, Father John Misty languidly introduced this cover as his "favorite love song," calling the industrial banger a "little sappy" before the iconic drumbeat kicked in. Nothing says true affection like the rocker belting out "I WANNA FUCK YOU LIKE AN ANIMAL" before tearing the chorus apart.
