Poor Moon, a Fleet Foxes Side Project That Sounds Nothing Like FF, Signs to Sub Pop

Barely a week after Fleet Foxes drummer Josh Tillman announced that he had a new record on the way -- one that looks to be released by Sub Pop in May -- two of his bandmates have inked a deal with the FF label and are looking at a March release.

Poor Moon includes FF's Christian Wargo and Casey Wescott, along with brothers Ian and Peter Murray. Sub Pop will release the band's debut EP, Illusion, on March 27. Its first -- and free -- single is "People In Her Mind," a light, jangly, lo-fi note-bender that you'd never guess was associated with Fleet Foxes. Download it after the jump.

The band's U.S. tour (dates after the jump) includes a March 27 stop at the Tractor Tavern.
