TILLY & The Wall will play the Limelight on Monday, October 27.
More vivid and emboldened then ever before, Tilly And The Wall unleash their new album ‘O’ on October 6 on the Moshi Moshi label.
Long loved by the hip and the cognoscenti, the Omaha five piece have delivered on their alt-pop promise with an album
as compelling, explosive and potentially chart-bothering as a three-way between Lovefoxxx, Gwen Stefani and Black Lips.
The dizzyingly unique ‘Tilly’ arrangements of hip-shaking tap, overdriven guitar and close-knit girl-boy vocals underpin twelve tracks of increasingly bold pop eclecticism. Kianna, Derek, Jamie, Nick, and Neely strop-stomp their way through the dirty riot-blues of Pot Kettle Black, cast spiralling brass across Cacophony and I Found You, gate-crash a new wave disco with Falling Without Knowing, and bask in the vibrant electro-pop technicolour of lead single Beat Control.
Just four years ago Tilly And The Wall emerged from Omaha with debut album Wild Like Children, revealing their unbridled and potent combination of singsong harmonies, charging acoustic guitars and of course the synonymous tap dancing ‘drummer’. These ‘growing up songs’ about not wanting to grow up, losing your love to the road, and the urge to force the night as far as you could take it, evolved into the universal themes of the sophomore album Bottoms of Barrels. Just as the band matured into the bigger themes of freedom, courage and rebellion on that second album, now they have realised tougher, sharper, stronger charges of beat and song on their third.
