Tilly and the Wall – Beat Control Single
I’ve known about Tilly and the Wall for sometime but I’ve never actually listened to anything by them. I knew from going through countless Wikipedia articles and they were namely that band that did not have a drummer but a tap dancer instead. Always figured that was odd/super cool.
Tilly and The Wall are a quite popular indie pop group and I just never bothered to check out their stuff until recently. If you follow my tendencies I love indie pop and I love female lead singers… so why I didn’t check this band out is way beyond me.
They have a 3rd album coming out on June 17th and while it’s currently untitled, it’s being given the working name of “O” but with the given press release, the promotional company refused to confirm the title of the album. They have made “Cacophony” available for download on various blogs which you can find almost anywhere. Their previous two albums got very good reviews from All Music Guide and P4K.
Cacophony is a decent track though nothing special to a point where I wouldn’t be too excited. Some good elements with the tap dancing though I swear it sounds like horse or…something left to the imagination. I like the duality of male and female vocals. I’ll be definitely checking out “O” or whatever it calls when it comes out in June.
I wanted to talk about the short pop track Beat Control which was left off this album. Some were saying that it was different stylistically but it is an extremely fun and awesome pop song (some may hate it for being too poppy). I love the vocals and while it’s rather simplistic of a song lyrically and instrumentally, it’s extremely catchy and I don’t mind listening to it for hours.
The video has also gotten some major play on YouTube with their music video…though most of the traffic originates from Perez Hilton. I’m not against his music selections but it only works because he does have such high traffic levels and therefore a power to persuade. Here’s the video:
Enjoy the tracks! We don’t need to do a review everytime anyway.

I really appreciate this kind of music…there is a great new artist by the name of Eric Solomon…he has a really cool voice and his music is quite edgy!
