Tilly and The Wall "Pot Kettle Black"

• Words: Bryant Rutledge
• Label: Team Love

Tilly & the Wall is adept at being simultaneously aggressive and fun-loving, something likely due to the fact that each member of the five-person songwriting collective from Omaha, NE brings their own particular style to the table when making music. On their third, nameless album that's simply being referred to as "O," the group blends fierce attitude with party-friendly antics in the form of chugging guitars and in-your-face vocals. Bright Eyes member and engineering maestro Mike Mogis produced the album, giving songs that slick edge he's become so noted for in his work. Fans of gossip should heed the lyrics of this song, "Pot Kettle Black," as it wisely points out how talking smack will eventually catch up with you.
