Pearly Gate Music

If you’re a lover of baroque indie folk music, you might be already familiar with the surname Tillman. J. (Joshua) Tillman is the drummer for the universally acclaimed Seattle group Fleet Foxes. He also played in a post-rock band called Saxon Shore with his brother Zach in the early 2000s. Zach is now following in his more semi-famous brother’s footsteps by starting a solo project called Pearly Gate Music, which not only sounds musically a little like the soundtrack to a first meeting with St. Peter in the afterlife, with its acoustic guitars that sound a little like harps, but sometimes resembles Fleet Foxes in its folksiest, quietest moments.
