The 2002 album "Mostly Ape" captures Drums & Tuba in a transitional phase, moving away from the more electronic-influenced sound of previous work towards a more guitar-driven, indie-rock aesthetic. This collection of songs showcases Tillmann's knack for catchy melodies and off-kilter lyrical observations.
- Recorded in Minneapolis in the spring of 2002, "Mostly Ape" was produced by Sean Tillmann himself.
- The album was released on September 10, 2002, by Chicago-based independent label Righteous Babe Records.
- "Mostly Ape" features guest appearances from several notable Minneapolis musicians, including members of The Soviettes and Pretty Girls Make Graves.
Drums & Tuba is the nom de plume of singer-songwriter Sean Tillmann, a Minneapolis-based artist who released a string of albums throughout the late 90s and early 2000s. Tillman's music often blended elements of indie rock, folk, and electronic music, with a lyrical style that ranged from introspective to humorous.
