I personally don't really have an opinion on Fleet Foxes, one way or the other (haven't heard enough of them), but i DO know that I've definitely heard J Tillman and truly honestly hope this doesn't cut down on his musical output.
He's an amazing songwriter, in my book. You're not gonna dance to him, just to let you know, but for us older folks he's brilliant in a Gordon Lightfoot/Harry Nillson sort of way. On the surface it's sweet and simple, but if you dig down, and let the words get inside you, he's a great plucker of heartstrings.
And he does have a beard, for those of you who can't stand that sort of thing.
