J. Tillman

Your life would be better of with J. Tillman in it. Recently we rediscovered him while reading Fricke's Picks in the Rolling Stone, where he is quoted to be: "a compelling whirl of Laurel Canyon-echo balladry and desolate-psychedelia stomp." We consider Tillman to be among the great songwriters of our day.  You may know him better for his drumming in Fleet Foxes more than for his solo work, but that will soon change. Tillman is getting more and more recognition as a solo artist and we feel he is well on his way to becoming a much bigger name. We only hope he finds time to break away from the successes of the Foxes, to come our way soon.  His new album, "Year In The Kingdom" is scheduled to come out in September through Western Vinyl and Bella Union. Amazingly enough you can take a sneak-peek listen at an unmastered  track entitled "Earthly Bodies" here. You can also hear a few more unmastered tracks from the upcoming record on Tillman's myspace page.  Also take listen to a track off of his latest album Vacilando Territory Blues here.   (this track just so happens to be a MMMMOVE REVIEW FAVORITE: Steel on Steel)
