Well I just got more excited than a 5-year old on Christmas morning. Stalking, err lurking on J. Tillman’s myspace today I was greeted with this news from his blog:
The new record, “Year In The Kingdom”, will be out in Sept. through Western Vinyl and Bella Union.
Well I know my co-blogger Smansmith is thrilled with this news as I am, as we both are a little bit obsessive about this man’s music.
Check out his myspace to preview the songs “Earthly Bodies”, “Year In The Kingdom”, and “Though I Have Wronged You”. I fell right back in love after listening to these tracks just once. Stunning, stunning, stunning….I’m convinced that this man can not create a bad song.

Make sure you join the last.fm “Slowcoustic” group created by my co-blogger Smansmith. He puts up a monthly playlist for download over on slowcoustic.com for members of the group. Smansmith has some damn fine taste in music (just sayin!) so really it is in your best interest to join this group. Trust me on this one.
