For any fans of Fleet Foxes or Bon Iver, prepare for your pants to go crazy for Seattle's J. Tillman (also known as Josh). Although this is his 5th studio release, it's his first since becoming the drummer for the Fleet Foxes. Most of his earlier work, including the video below, is about as minimalist as they come, but with Vacilando Territory Blues, he's adding additional elements while keeping the original folksy style.
"It is heavily apparent that Tillman is going to find widespread success eventually, and it looks to be quite soon too with the upcoming release of Vacilando Territory Blues on January 20th. Coinciding with how his albums seem to get better with each passing one, Tillman’s newest effort proves to be his most consistent to date. While other January releases from the likes of Animal Collective, Franz Ferdinand, and Andrew Bird may be receiving the most attention at this point and time, it would be a shame to overlook this gem. I will say this much: If it were being released this year, I would have to shuffle around some albums to make room for it on my Top 50."
