Free Music Notes for Bottoms of Barrels
Free Music Review: Really wonderful, except...
Hit: 4 Stars
An exciting, gleeful, shout-and-sing-along album, which I love dearly. I got it having NO idea the band involved tap-dancing as percussion, but I just loved the driving percussive sound... I thought maybe it was a band of people playing buckets with drumsticks, if that helps give you an idea of the sound. It gives the whole album a kind of forward driving energy that's almost like gleeful cheerleaders romping their way through indie-folk-rock.
I just can't give the album five stars because when the male singer performs as a soloist, I find it just hard to listen to. "Coughing Colors" might be a good song in other hands, but when he sings it, it's very off-pitch and out of tune, and the tone is kind of nasal and whiny. It's not totally unbearable, but not pleasant either. And the whole album is so exciting, I find it very disconcerting that the big closing number is almost unlistenable. Otherwise, though, great album. Listen to "Bad Education," "Sing Songs Along," and "The Freest Man" for some great tap-dancing inspiring songs.
Bottoms of Barrels Poster
The result of five Omaha residents with a penchant for classic 60's pop, boy/girl harmonies, and Americana folk records, Tilly And The Wall celebrate the petulant, determined, feisty nature of youth. They rejoice in tales of dreams followed, mistakes made, and hearts broken. Their debut, "Wild Like Children", consisted of eleven perfectly formed songs bursting with enthusiastic hyperactivity, while emanating a bittersweet melancholy of long lost summers and misguided first loves. This, their follow-up, takes their signature sound to a new level. The choruses are more rousing, the tapping more intense, the instrumentation fuller. Guaranteed to make you love the band even more than you probably already do.Pop Music CDs
