Listen To This: Like Rainbow Brite On Acid!

Filed under: Listen To This

Bright and colorful is the best way to describe the music of Tilly and the Wall.

They have just released a video for Beat Control, which is a big ball of goodness.

Bjork would love the clip! And the song sounds like the Jackson 5, Junior Senior and the Hidden Cameras squeezed into one juicy glass of not-from-concentrate yumminess.

CLICK HERE to check out the vid and hear the song for Beat Control and then click here to check out some other cool tunes from Tilly And the Wall!

      AWFUL. NOTHING like Bjork in any way, shape or form. Bjork would never write such mindless lyrics. If this is how you're gonna start your A&R we're all in for a world of shit.

    32. ber says – reply to this

      maybe you should focus on NEW artists

      fuck you perez for letting all these tards know about Tilly and the Wall. they did not need this kind of exposure. now all these little poseurs are gonna be wearing tilly and the wall shirts. thanks for nothing perez.

      I like the song a lot a lot, the videos just too different for some people to accept but I like.

      too bad i knew about all these bands you "discovered" before you put them on your site. too bad these people offering you that deal don't realize those band's sucess has nothing to do with you. and Tilly and the Wall are really old. And this song is like their worst one.

    37. Abe says – reply to this

      This video isn't quite as entertaining as Dan Deacon's "Crystal Cat", which has a similar look to it, but more manic and amazing.

      Very bummed to see this. They have been my fav. for a good 4 years and what i've loved about them was using the tap dancer instead of drums…and now they don't have the "i could play a house show in your basement" feel.

      very bummed.

      Well that is the lamest song I've ever heard. Your taste in music sucks.

      You have to listen to their song called "Bad Education" its SO good!!

    47. Lianne says – reply to this


      47

      Worst song ever. Lacked everything a song should have. She sang one freaken note the whole song.
      She could however star in the new Rainbow Brite live action tv show.

    53. You. says – reply to this


      53

      that song sounds absolutely nothing like Tilly and the Wall… too bad you didn't look at the rest of their music, which is actually really good. it's fine to whore out rappers like Adam Tensta or pop singers like Sia, but Tilly and the Wall doesn't need this kind of shit. I've been listening to this band for YEARS — they're not new just because it took you this long to find them. sorry. stick with pop, that seems to be your field.

    54. Ih8allofyou says – reply to this


      54

      Fuck all of you. Tilly is the best band ever. And I'm happy none of you ignaorant bitched don't like them. Sure this isn't there best, but it's just supposed to be fun and it isn't going on the new album so chill the fuck out. Also fuck you perez for "discovering" all of my favorite bands.

      I can see the Junior Senior in here and some other bands, but Björk: hell no..

      The song itself is ok, but kinda boring. Nothing excites in it..

    58. Somelikeithot says – reply to this


      58

      YES! Tilly and the Wall finally getting the love they deserve. I've been a fan since they were playing tiny clubs to just a few people. THEY ROCK!

      I predict that this song will be so over played this summer. But I do think it is very catchy.

      62

      A great big Fuck You for throwing Tilly's name out there like it means something to you, you wouldn't know good music if it bit you in the ass, and now teeny boppers everywhere are going to claim to be "lyke total hipsters" just because they saw this post. They are NOT this weeks trend. Tilly is so much better than this song and so much deeper than you make them out to be. You are part of the downfall of the music industry.

      tilly and the wall was much better when it was acoustic and tap-dancing. maybe you should have discovered this band 5 years ago.

      once again this proves that Perez Hilton has an aquired taste for bad music and also please, never ever again compare such shit with the glorious Jackson 5.

      I opened for these guys years ago. They were super cute and provided rhythm to their songs by tap-dancing.

      I highly doubt that ANY group/artist signed to Team Love Records would have anything to do with you and your A&R deal, Mario. Sorry. :(

      Also, their best song, by far is Rainbows in the Dark. :)

      93

      Oy… this is the Tilly that you're choosing to pimp? Their older work is soooo much better. Usually when you put up songs from bands I've been listening to forever the songs are at least comparable to their better work…

    94. arasiam says – reply to this


      94

      people like this drivel? and yet you criticized janet's new song? what am i missing>?

    95. Audrie says – reply to this


      95

      DUDE! Perez! You totally forgot to mention the awesomeness that is their tap dancer! (They have a tap dancer instead of drummers. It's magical!)
      I hate to say this because Tilly and the Wall is one of my favorite bands but!…
      As Christian of Project Runway would say, "This is god awful hideous!"
      If you listen to Wild Like Children and Bottoms of Barrels, (their other two older, BETTER albums) you will hear and see that they are totally abandoning their awesome roots as indie GODS. this just sounds like poopy madonna with a dash of Joel McHale's "Rainbow Brite" snippit on E!'s "The Soup"

      I absolutely love you Perez, just not this song.

      Please, Perez, stop it. This will be Tilly's third studio album. You did not discover them. Now all these loser poseurs will start listening to them. If you want to know true indie bands, move to my town — Omaha — where these guys started. Perez, you just suck. Don't let the AR deal go to your head. You're really not that cool.

    100. Jimmy says – reply to this


      100

      I've been listening to them for years. There old stuff sounds a shit ton better. You are so cutting edge Perez… Way to find a band on there way down… Hope your Warner deal goes well….
