All posts in Tilly and the Wall

We are now accepting pre-orders for Tilly & the Wall’s new full-length, o. As always, pre-orders will ship two weeks prior to the album’s street date (June 17th). O will have limited edition runs of handmade prints available by different artists that will act as the record’s cover, giving the band’s fans a unique piece of art for both their album and their walls. The frame of the cover art allows the listener to put him/herself into the album, and believe us: this is a record into which you’ll want to pour yourself.

Pre-ordering the album will assure you one of these limited covers!

Tilly & the Wall – “Cacophony” (MP3) – Pre-Order “o”

It is with much excitement that we present Tilly & the Wall’s newest album simply entitled….well, it doesn’t have a title. The album cover is serving as its title: it’s a frame in which artwork will be placed. The Tillies are asking everyone in their community to contribute artwork for the album’s cover, and will have limited edition runs of handmade prints available by different artists that will act as the album’s cover.

O details the mixing of the personal and the organic world — songs on the record frequently feature grass, flowers, blood, trees, snow, water, dust, sand, trash, electricity and gardens, all tied up with loss, love, need and exploration.

Produced by the acclaimed Mike Mogis, O is Tilly and the Wall’s most cohesive, sonically experimental album yet. In addition to building a tack piano for certain songs, the band toyed with percussion much more than their previous efforts, recording Jamie’s taps through a variety of different amplifiers and floors to give each song its own distinct rhythm. With its massive dose of high energy, hip-shaking attitude, it’s the sort of album that reminds you why you fell for Tilly and the Wall in the first place.

Tilly’s most recent single, “Beat Control” is now available through iTunes (along with album track “Cacophony), and as a limited-edition seven-inch through our online store.

O will hit stores and all digital retailers on June 17.

Stream both Cacophony and Beat Control below.

Almost two years after the release of their sophomore album, Bottoms of Barrels Tilly and the Wall are excited to share their newest bit of musical mayhem with the world in the form of a single called “Beat Control.” The single will be released in two formats: it will be available at all digital service providers and via a limited edition 7” which can be purchased from Team Love’s website or the band’s very own merch table during their upcoming tour. The single hits all digital service providers on March 4th.

Additionally, the stellar video for “Beat Control” is now up and ready for multiple viewings. Directed by SSION (the folks responsible for the cover of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ Fever to Tell), the video is an exuberant whirlwind of hip-shaking madness. Filled with a neon glow, a dancefloor on fire, and enough moves to inspire a dance contest, “Beat Control” is a certified party anthem with a video to prove it.

“Beat Control” will not be available on the band’s forthcoming LP, due for release on Team Love this summer, so be sure to pick this up! The tracklisting for the single:
1. Beat Control

2. Cacophony

3. L3t the B34t C0ns013 Yov (Pewep Merix)
