J. Tillman: "First Born" (Video)

You don't necessarily have to know that J. Tillman plays drums in Fleet Foxes to realize dude has a lot in common with that band--here's a video for "First Born" (from his Vacilando Territory Blues, out now via Western Vinyl), which sounds like a Fleet Foxes song without four part harmonies (but with a lot of harmonic vocals by Tillman), that follows a flock of birds around a semi-dilapidated commercial park. Tillman takes time off from the drums, which there are barely a trace of here, to strum out on an acoustic and a piano. [Pitchfork]
