“Reckless”
from the album Wild Like Children
2004
[iTunes]
Instead of using a traditional band set-up, Omaha’s Tilly and the Wall toss aside the notion of having of a proper drummer and instead opt for hand claps and tap dancing and various other forms of percussion. The beats are infectious regardless of what they are made with; they use non-conventional instruments to create vibrant and catchy bursts of sound.
Wild Like Children was the first release on Conor Oberst‘s new record label, Team Love, which is a subsidiary of Saddle Creek.
In addition to an in-store release, the entire Tilly album was made available on the label’s website in MP3 format, completely free of charge. Team Love will be making all of their music freely available and in doing so aims to refute the record industry assertion that downloading hinders sales and success.
You can watch the video for “Reckless” at the label’s website.
