FOXES DRUMMER ANNOUNCES DEPARTURE VIA TUMBLR

J. Tillman |
After four years, drummer J. Tillman has announced his departure from Fleet Foxes. Tillman made the announcement on his Tumblr, with the message posted below:
“Farewell Fleet Fans and Friends. Back into the gaping maw of obscurity I go. Tokyo is my last show with the Foxes. Sorry if I was distant and obtuse if we ever met. Have fun.”
Tillman joined Fleet Foxes in 2008, just before the release of the band’s self-titled debut record. Fans can expect more material from the talented Tillman, as the former Foxes drummer has been releasing solo material since 2004 and all throughout his tenure with the band. His most recent album, Singing Ax, was released in September 2010.
