YEAR IN THE KINGDOM

J. Tillman left college and his former home of New York behind him and relocated to Seattle. Tillman started as a percussionist, playing with bands sych as Saxon Shore, before moving to releasing his own material. He toured with many Seattle-area folk luminaries, such as Damien Jurado and Rosie Thomas among others. Three full length LP's have been produced so far, the first two of which were promoted through word of mouth and sold as CDR's before eventually being turned into limited edition CD's. These CDR albums were distributed through Keep, and then later rereleased on Fargo as a 2-disc set. Minor Works was also released by Fargo. J. Tillman then released Cancer and Delirium on Yer Bird and shortly after he took over drumming duties for Sub Pop band Fleet Foxes. His next album, Vacilando Territory Blues, is due to be released in January 2009.
