When Park Ave. (featuring a certain Conor Oberst) broke up in 2001, Jamie Williams and Neely Jenkinks formed Tilly and the Wall, releasing Wild Like Children on Oberst’s Team Love label in 2004. Bottom of Barrels followed two years later, and this June, the band dropped their third full-length, O. (Buy it here.) O is actually untitled; it goes by the letter of the alphabet that best describes the frame of its artwork, and the revolving images within that “O” will be fan provided artwork! Tilly and the Wall’s video for the first single “Pot Kettle Black” premiered on Stereogum last month, and the band also garnered an Artist of the Day merit from SPIN in June.

Tilly and the Wall is as energetic and bubbly as ever, providing us an unending supply of melodious ditties with plentiful hooks and harmonies, sustained by a flurry hand-claps and beats, gleaming synthesizer output, and layered vocals. They do have their quieter folk-pop moments too, and their lyrics are often introspective and occasionally revolve around downtrodden themes allowing them to appropriately cater to the peaks and valleys we all encounter in our lives. And their live shows are a breath of fresh, cleansing air that are ideal to help you break out of your funk or nourish your already cheery mindset. Check out Tilly and the Wall tonight, on the main, outside stage at Emo's! Chirpy pop from Belaire and noisy rock from Ringo Deathstarr gets things rolling.
