Filed under: Spinner Interview , In House Noam Galai, AOL Talking to Tilly and the Wall feels more like talking to a family than a band. After 10 years together, the group of five are tight-knit and welcoming, relating stories and exchanging knowing smiles with an ease that one mainly sees within a band that's truly happy. Of course, two of their members, Jamie and Derek Pressnall, are really family, but the band as [...]
This is kind of a late post, in the sense that Tilly & The Wall's new album came out back in the beginning of October, but after waiting four years for another album from them I felt that I should write something . I bought the album a few weeks ago, and I have to say I wasn't sure what to expect when I first heard they were back. When 'O' came out in 2008, I was 18, and I liked the album to some extent, but it wasn't as near as good as 'Wild Like Children' or 'Bottoms Of [...]

Everyone's favorite tap-dancing alternative rock band is back with yet another party of a song. Check out the new music video from Omaha's Tilly and the Wall for their track "Defenders." "Defenders" is off the band's upcoming new album, Heavy Mood . Heavy Mood is due out September 18 on Team Love records. Preorder the record here .

One of our very favorite bands—and Analog Edition alumni —Breakfast In Fur have released three new tracks for the Team Love Records compilation, Die Pfalz . Though we're partial to the intimate bedroom-pop of Breakfast In Fur's EP—the whistling tea kettle, the menagerie of percussive instruments, the bright youthful chorusing voices on "Shine"—the band's creative ambitions are clearly growing, and they no longer fit inside the snug confines of home. "Whisper," "Aurora Falls," and "Setting Stone" are cinematic in scope as they swell and take-off rocket-like into grand affective sensory overloading moments. From the dark Joy Division-recalling pump [...]

I’ll ask again: what’s in the water in Omaha, Nebraska? With Saddle Creek’s new releases in 2012 from Cursive, Tilly and the Wall (technically Team Love, but whatever…), Azure Ray, PUJOL, and The Mynabirds, it looks like this Midwest indie folk label is still going strong despite Conor Oberst’s apparent departure with Bright Eye’s swansong The People’s Key . Yet just when things seemed like they couldn’t get any better, Icky Blossoms finally followed up their January release of singles “Perfect Vision” and “Babes” with their eponymous debut album this past week. [...]

If you're a long-time fan of Tilly and the Wall , "Love Riot" may come as a bit of a shock. It's loud, raucous almost. It's rock. It's heavy. What made Tilly so unique in the past - the handclap/foot-stomp combo - remains a staid feature here, but pairing it with indie pop sensibilities is seemingly a thing of the past. And if you're like me - a long time fan - that's a hard change to get used to. But the song is catchy; what else would [...]

MP3: Tilly & The Wall – "Love Riot" Tilly & The Wall will release their new LP, Heavy Mood , in October via Team Love.

lo streaming integrale dello spettacolare album di esordio del sestetto shoegaze Conduits , uscito a Marzo per Team Love - debitori di Spacemen 3 e Slowdive, si sono fatti conoscere aprendo le date di Appleseed Cast e The Hold Steady, mentre attualmente sono in tour con i Cursive.

Conduits have been blasting droning shoegaze since forming in 2009. The Omaha, Nebraska six piece is the sum of six bands (Cursive, The Golden Age, The Good Life, Eagle Seagull, Son Ambulance and Neva Dinova). They're a rock n' roll Voltron! Together they create a dynamic monolith of noise, progression and broodiness. 'Top Of The Hill' opens Conduits new nine track album, on shelves March 20 (US pre-order from Team Love , EU pre-order from Beep! Beep! Back Up The Truck ).

More droning pop bliss from Omaha, Nebraska’s Conduits in this live video for “Limbs and Leaves”. Their self-titled debut album drops 3/20 on Team Love. Stream the previously posted “ Top of the Hill ”.

One of my favorite elements of shoegaze is its tendency to combine monumental, spacey guitar riffs with dreamy, oft wispy vocals. Conduits excel at this pairing on their new track "Top of the Hill". Likewise, the typical shoegaze darkness persists, all encompassing but not entirely overwhelming. There's energy here, but it's not the torment so often found in post-rock. Oddly enough, the voice is that of Jenna Morrison (Son, Ambulance), paired with the guitar meanderings of JJ Idt and Nate Mickish, the bass of [...]

MP3: Conduits - Top of the Hill Good morning! Here is a song that fits well within the context of waking up in a daze: "Top of the Hill" is the opening track from Conduits ' upcoming self-titled debut (out March 20th). It's a shoegaze affair, gently lulling you from one dream to the next until they are standing on top of your smiling corpse, waving a victorious flag. The sad part is that this band is signed to [...]
Kudos to Noisy Chaos Explosions for the tip on Omaha-based dream-rockers Conduits . Lots of early Verve and Spiritualized influence swirling around in the clouds of effects and patient, airy vocals. You can imagine how much more powerful these guys would sound with the right engineer. Regardless, this is some very impressive music. The band’s debut album, is coming March 20 on Team Love. Pre-order here .

Conduits will release their self-titled debut album on March 30th through Team Love. The Omaha sextet formed in 2009, and features members of The Good Life, Eagle Seagull, Son Ambulance, Neva Dinova, Cursive, and The Golden Age. Hear a cut from their debut below. MP3: Conduits - "Top of the Hill" Within the ethereal dreaminess and sonic waves of shoegaze, "Top of the Hill" both relaxes and swallows you whole. It weaves harmony out of chaos and holds everything together with the type [...]
The last few years have certainly had its fair share of emotional ups and downs for Simone Felice . In 2009, the singer-songwriter parted ways with The Felice Brothers, revealing the heart-tugging reasons for the break with a public open letter to his fans. Then in 2010, Felice underwent open heart surgery. All this hasn't slowed Simone down, as he has continued to write (both music and prose), record and tour, and come 2012 he will release his self-titled debut album via Conor Oberst's Team Love label. The largely self-produced, ten-track record, which will hit stores on [...]

MP3: The Berg Sans Nipple - Change the Shape MP3: The Berg Sans Nipple - Convert the Measurement After seeing that a good chunk of artists (Craig Wedren, The Felice Brothers, David Dondero) were no longer recording for New York label Team Love , I visited their website to see if they were still functioning. Turns out, they are, and one of their crown jewels (that they managed to keep) has a new LP coming out. The Berg Sans Nipple return with [...]

Conor Oberst is taking on the immigration debate in full force: Not only has the Bright Eyes mastermind hosted a concert , recorded a new song , and written an open letter to raise awareness, but now his label, Team Love Records, is set to distribute a new documentary on the issue, as well. The Other Side of Immigration , which is based on over 700 interviews in Mexican towns, seeks to provide “a perspective on undocumented immigration rarely witnessed by American eyes, challenging audiences to imagine more creative and [...]

[mp3] David Dondero: "Wherever You Go" We've always known David Donero as a songwriter capable of great heights, but plagued with a nagging inconsistency. He's one of those artists you just hope will drop that amazing cover to cover record you know he has in him - the talent is there, the voice, the writing - yet, for some reason, he can't seem to break through the barriers in his writing and the industry that have kept him at bay for many years. He's a songwriter's songwriter -- Dondero [...]
