Tilly And The Wall Artist Snapshot:

Employing a tap dancer for percussion, yet escaping any trace of gimmickry, Omaha, Nebraska's Tilly and the Wall, cohorts of Conner Oberst (aka Bright Eyes), cobble together female-male harmonies, folk sensibility, and elements of various styles that span the globe for a jaunty sound dangling just off the edge of indie rock. Signed to Oberst's Team Love Records, the fivesome garnered underground attention on its 2004 debut, WILD LIKE CHILDREN, and rolled to national acclaim on the 2006 follow-up, BOTTOMS OF BARRELS.

Review

Alternative Press (p.190) - "Tilly arrive with xylophone, keyboards and screaming vocals in tow, and pack BOTTOM OF BARRELS' songs to the hilt with urgent, how-many-syllables-can-we-fit-into-this-phrase vocal performances."
Magnet (p.110) - "On BOTTOMS OF BARRELS, there's an awful lot going on. At any given moment...expect to hear a mixture of guitar, trumpet, keyboard, cello, xylophone and drums."
CMJ (p.7) - "Layered under these ragged sing-alongs, her sharp, surefooted rhythms add a confident precision to the overall shambolic sweetness of the record."

Title Note

Tilly And The Wall: Derek Pressnall (vocals, guitar, percussion); Kianna Alarid, Neely Jenkins (vocals, bass instrument, percussion); Nick White (piano, organ, omnichord, keyboards); Jamie Williams (percussion).

Additional personnel: Trip The Light Fantastic (vocals); Mike Mogis (electric guitar, slide guitar, E-bow, Mellotron, keyboard, bass guitar); Myranda Hagemann (cello); Dan McCarthy (accordion); Ryan Fox (saxophone); Nate Walcott (trumpet); AJ Mogis (organ); Jesse McKelvey, Clint Wheeler (drums); Charlie Vinzl (bells); Clark Beechie (electronics).

There's safety in numbers on Omaha, Nebraska's Tilly And The Wall's second album, in which the best songs feature the euphoric unison vocals of Kianna Alarid and Neely Jenkins as well as Jamie Williams's imaginatively percussive tap-dancing. The effect is exhilarating on songs like the breathless "Bad Education," though the band is smart enough to vary their approach with the low-key, Bright Eyes-like "Love Song" (they record for Conor Oberst's Team Love label) and the sweet, yet disturbing ballad "Coughing Colors."
