Omaha-based tap-dancing indie rockers Tilly and the Wall released their third full-length last week. Though officially untitled, the record is often referred to as o, and promises a new direction for the band. An e-card with some samples can be heard here.
According to the band the album draws "on everything from nature and magic to sex, rivalries and astrology, and featuring more instruments, voices and bodily percussion than their last two records put together, Tilly and the Wall have begun to forge a brand new musical path for themselves 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.
In support of the record, T-Wall will unleash a North American tour this July, with Canadian dates in Vancouver and Toronto.
