Fleet Foxes drummer J. Tillman has left the band, according to a post made yesterday on his Tumblr. "Back into the gaping maw of obscurity I go," he wrote in the farewell message. "Tokyo is my last show with the Foxes. Sorry if I was distant and obtuse if we ever met. Have fun." That show takes place tomorrow night at Studio Coast in Tokyo.

Tillman has released several solo albums, including 2010's Singing Ax and 2009's Vacilando Territory Blues and Year in the Kingdom, all on Western Vinyl. He joined Fleet Foxes in 2008.

In other Fleet Foxes member news, Sub Pop has signed Poor Moon, a Seattle band that includes Fleet Foxes members Christian Wargo and Casey Wescott. Download "People in Her Mind" off their Illusion EP, out March 27 on Sub Pop, here. Poor Moon will tour with Lost in the Trees this spring. Dates below.
