If you’re familiar with the breakthrough band of 2008, Fleet Foxes, then you already know J Tillman. He’s the Seattle band’s backing vocalist and drummer. Tillman has been releasing solo music since 2004, with mixed commercial success. Vacilando Territory Blues is every bit as achingly beautiful as his work in Fleet Foxes, but is far more low-fi and sparse. Tillman’s husky, yet fragile delivery resonates with the world-weary nuances that make folk music so utterly absorbing. Echoed production ages these fresh songs, making them instantly timeless. For fans of Iron and Wine. 4/5 Nick Milligan
