Listen To This: Like Rainbow Brite On Acid!

2/26/2008 7:07 PM ET | 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.

You guys have got to get over this 7th grader mentality of people "DISCOVERING" bands before/after you. Yes, Tilly have been around for a while. THEY NEED EXPOSURE. Just because you and your friends "omg love" them doesn't mean that no one else should know about them. Get over it.

And yes, this song is different. Get over that, too. They have made electronic songs before and Jamie is still tapdancing as hard as ever.

Bands need to make money, sorry to disturb your perfect world where only you know about bands, but its true. If you love Tilly, be happy for them because they need exposure! More people should learn, live, and love them!!!!

Re: Ih8allofyou – I agree. Dammit Perez, Tilly has been around for years…helo? Kiana was Conor Oberst's backup vocalist on many tracks (most famously Letting off the Happiness LP) and anyway, this is nowhere near their best

Okay, simply put, everybody that thinks this post is 'too much exposure' for the band is an ignorant, pretentious, pseudo hipster piece of shit. I hate people like you for sharing such a stupid perspective of what art is or what it should be. What makes YOU worthy of listening to something above someone else? We should all encourage independent expression.
Also, the people I've met in Kansas City are some of the brightest, most amazing artists I've ever seen/met/studied with. Their video is AMAZINGLY different and I hope they get more press! GO CRITCHELO!!!!!!

Please, Perez. Do you even know who Bjork is? Let's not speak for her likes….especially when speaking of crap.

Congratulations to Tilly and the Wall for being featured on Perez's site. I am sure that this will bring nothing but good things for them. They are amazing people who continue to make beautiful music. 95% of the people posting on here need to calm down. Listening to more Tilly oughta do the trick.

did i miss something? when did you say you discovered them? i thought it was just a normal blog post about an interest. and all their die hard "i've been listening to them forever blah blah blah fans" are flipping a bitch about it. i know kids, how awful it would be for someone else in the world to like what you do. that would just SO take away from your indie scene and then you'd have to find someone else. even though you'd still have to rant about how "they were cool when nobody knew about them" whenever you hear their name. BOOOHOOO. don't cry too hard.
