MUSIC NEWS - The Fleet Foxes' J. TILLMAN brings us his new, Year in the Kingdom (out via Western Vinyl) release and unravels some kind of galactic wilderness. Tillman's 6th album lyrically borders on mystic; proffering a transcendent union, an effortlessness. Strange and honest, this song cycle inhabits it's own idea-scape; one seemingly obsessed with wrestling death. These are afterlife dia

J. Tillman, Fleet Foxes’ drummer and a bona fide solo artist in his own right, is the creator of this next new piece. It’s called Though I Have Wronged You, off the album Year In The Kingdom (out September 22nd). What you will find here is a man explaining himself with his guitar and soothing set of strings, which adds this aching sense of beauty to a song already full of backwoods ambiance.

J. Tillman took the stage at the Middle East Upstairs for a late show on Sunday night. But then again, it was only 8pm in Seattle, the west-coast town that this drummer from Fleet Foxes calls home. The performance was a family affair, with J. Tillman’s brother Zach opening as a solo act called Pearly Gates Music. Zach Tillman offered us a stripped-down version of his already sparse style: leavi.

Tillman swells these songs up enough to show that his sound is bigger than himself, always reaching out to us, inviting us to feel the pressing hope in the spaces between lonesome chords.Yes, Josh Tillman is the drummer for Fleet Foxes. Have we gotten that out of the way? Good. Because he has been putting out his own quiet records at a pretty good clip for a while now, and they're not only grea...

My review of the new album from J. Tillman, who's also a member of the Fleet Foxes, is now online at the Tucson Weekly:With an unadorned and gallant style, J. Tillman makes dark and quiet folk music, laced with proverbial silver streaks and highlighted edges that give his songs surprising contrast and depth. Relatively unknown outside his role as drummer/harmony vocalist with the Fleet Foxes, J.

New WaxThe ill-informed may confuse J. Tillman's solo material as a side project, but alas, Tillman was a solo artist long before he was the drummer for it-band Fleet Foxes. Tillman's hypnotic, deep lull of a voice is quite different when contrasted with the sweeping pastoral harmonies of his other band. Throwing his name in the hat of uber-prolific singer/songwriters, Tillman returns with his ...

--- - |- J. Tillman is now an official member of Fleet Foxes, but we'll always remain partial to his solo stuff, which we've been fans of for a long, long while here at GvsB. So we were glad to hear that our good friend Aquarium Drunkard has just made Tillman's woefully underappreciated discography available digitally for the first time, via his Autumn Tone label. Tillman's entire catalog is w...

What does a drummer use for contraception? His personality. What do you call someone who hangs around with musicians? A drummer. What do you call a beautiful woman on a drummer’s arm? A tattoo. Never let it be said that there’s a dearth of drumming jokes in the world. Sticksmen get a bad rap; correspondingly, [...]

I often sing when I’m at home, riding my bike, walking…………I actually sing pretty often. I don’t choose the songs I sing. For days I can have the same song stuck in my head and out it comes. “Brainy” by The National was that kind of song ever since Erin wrote about it. During the last couple of days I’ve been humming along to what I consider one damn fine amazing great beautiful s
