Back in 2004, Conor Oberst of Bright Eyes launched his Team Love imprint with a debut record from the Omaha, Nebraska twee pop band Tilly and the Wall . Fans of that group will be pleased to learn that guitarist/vocalist Derek Pressnal has since formed a new band, Icky Blossoms , focused on more nuanced and electronics-oriented dance pop. The trio, which also includes singer Sarah Bohling and guitarist Nik Fackler, have a self-titled debut out July 17 via Saddle Creek , produced by TV on the Radio's Dave Sitek. Here's an album cut, "Perfect Vision". (Download it at the ...

Discover: Tilly And The Wall - Bad Education Tilly And The Wall is a band from Omaha, Nebraska, that was formed in 2001. What most catches the attention of this band is that instead of having a drummer to do the percusion they have a tap dancer! Yes, a tap dancer ! Her name is  Jamie Pressnall and with her bandmates, Neely Jenkins (vocals), Kianna Alarid (bass and vocals), Derek Pressnall (guitar) and Nick White (keyboards), they present fans with fun and cheerful music to enjoy.  They always give a wonderful live show full of colours and happiness that I’m sure ...

30. Slow Club- Paradise By Tri Yeah So brought Slow Club a fair amount of commercial success, supporting bands such as Tilly And The Wall with their romantic notions and loveable duets. Despite enjoying the close harmonies of songs like ‘When We Go’, their latest album Paradise shows greater depth both musically and lyrically. The choice to move away from Watson as lead singer with Taylor mostly harmonising was a good one. Her more impressive vocals are evident on songs such as ‘You, Earth Or Ash’ with its delicate phrasing, and ‘Never Look Back’ displaying a range not even attempted ...

Your tween-loving heart will be glad to hear that Icky Blossoms, the band composed of Tilly and The Wall’s Derek Pressnall, vocalist Sarah Bohling, and filmmaker/musician Nik Fackler, have signed to Saddle Creek. Signing with Saddle Creek means more than just a legally binding contract to clean Conor Obert’s teardrop-shaped pool and look after Rilo Kiley’s pet Gila monster — it means you’ve made it ! Icky Blossoms may sound like a rude attack on Mayim Bialik’s appearance and cool hats, but the name also represents a group of friends from Omaha, Nebraska that possibly make ...

New Year, New Music: 12/20 It seems that He’s My Brother She’s My Sister copied Tilly & the Wall’s “tap-dancer in lieu of a drummer” set-up. Watch “Clackin’ Heels”:

I’m totally in love with US fashion designer Peggy Noland’s creations. Her wearable art makes the world a much more fun, brighter place! Musicians CSS’ Lovefoxxx, Kianna Alarid from Tilly & the Wall, SSION, Jonny Makeup and more rock her designs with a lot of pride and love for the designer. I recently chatted with [...]

So does this mean that Team Love also will soon announce the release of the highly anticipate Tilly and the Wall album?

We were going to apologise for lateness onto this - the Seasonal Glimpse EP was released in September and they've gone on pause since after their drummer left - but it's probable you've never heard of them before so it doesn't really matter. St Rupertsberg are an all-female octet from Wellington, NZ whose misleadingly perky choral maxi-indiepop is like a chamber Tilly & The Wall, horns, handclaps and lots of tambourine heightening the possibly only surface fun element. Coming Home by St Rupertsberg

The War on Drugs, Tilly and the Wall, Stars, Shiny Toy Guns, Neon Trees, Metric, Thomas Dolby, Delta Spirit and others are the latest to be added to the 2012 South by Southwest lineup today. Also, some of our favorites...

I recently drove a 1,464 mile round-trip to Salt Lake City. My beagle copilot still hasn’t mastered the art of conversation, so I loaded my iPod with a bunch of new music. I found myself listening to one band repeatedly and by the end of the trip I had most of their lyrics memorized. The band – Slow Club – is a charming folk duo from Sheffield, England. We featured ...

Click image to download track Sounds like: Summer Camp, Camera Obscura, Tilly and the Wall, Hot Club de Paris "Slow Club - Two Cousins" What's so good? Slow Club released “Two Cousins” in mid June, and I’ve been seeing buzz for the duo build on the Internet since then. That’s not to say they’re a brand-spanking-new production — Charles Watson and Rebecca Taylor have released one full-length ( Yeah So , in 2009) and have been on tour multiple times, supporting bands like Tilly and the Wall (remember them?) and, more recently, Summer Camp. Their music is reminiscent of the ...

Your Nature Here we have a very unique and interesting indie band out of Brooklyn, New York. Your Nature takes simple indie tunes and revamps them with a pop and psychedelic twist. In general, putting a genre label on this band is simply impossible. The lyrics sound similar to MGMT, but the vocals, sung by John Frank and Malcom Perkins, are comparable to Pink Floyd. After the band formed in 2009, they were instantly invited to CMJ Music Festival in New York City. Since then the band has flown under the radar, but look for Your Nature to make a ...

Nachdem die Indiefolker Bright Eyes vor zwei Wochen ihr siebtes Studioalbum " The People's Key " veröffentlichten, folgt nun die erste visuelle Untermalung eines der Songs. Im Clip zu "Shell Games", welches uns erstmals im Dezember als Gratis-Download und Album-Vorbote erreichte ( motor.de berichtete ), sieht man die Band im winterlichen Ambiente in einer Hütte und am Lagerfeuer musizieren. Wieder einmal legte Saddle Creeks Haus- und Hof-Produzent Nik Fackler Hand an, der bereits für The Good Life und Tilly And The Wall Videoproduktionen übernahm. Bright Eyes - "Shell Games" »Hier kann man sich übrigens noch immer das gesamte Album im Video-Stream anhören. Es ...
