If you like the album and you haven't seen them perform live, I definitely suggest that you watch their set! It is fun and hilarious and just an overall delight. Josh Tillman is a wonderfully charismatic entertainer.
They play Sunday.

I was lukewarm on the album until I saw him perform. Must-see Sunday.
I've been listening more and more...and everytime I hear the first line of that "I'm Writing a Novel Song" I can't help but laugh. Will not miss these guys. Here's some candy for ya ears.

He was hilarious at OSL. I also was lukewarm on the album until I saw it performed live. They're great. 70s crooner status

Tillman is a stud. So glad he split from Fleet Foxes.
The first time I saw him - opening for Youth Lagoon - he killed it. So entertaining. A few months later he headlined at the same venue and didn't have it at all. Maybe just an off night though. Coachella seems like the perfect setting for this band.

I quite like the album, I'll definitely be catching his set. And he has April from parks and rec in his video!
This will be one of the most talked about sets after Coachella. He is fucking incredible, I saw him three times last year and HOLY SHIT! The quality of the music. A great 8-9 piece band, that all slay. Oh did I mention how awesome J. Tilman's stage banter is? this dude has an awesome personality on stage.
