On another album with no official name (fans have christened it "O"), Tilly and the Wall stick with their signature combination of half-shouted words and harmony vocals. But the group also breaks new ground with punk rock riffs and percussion that well surpasses the standard of tambourines and Jamie Pressnall's tap dancing. "Falling Without Knowing" is a dance track driven by quick-paced drum effects over long-held synth chords that make it hard, if not impossible, to hear Pressnall's footwork. Elsewhere, circus-like cacophony ends "Chandelier Lake" with what sounds like a blend of accordion, keyboards, bells and a harp. Nothing here is drastic enough to alter the novelty label of "the band with the tap dancer," but it's definitely a "step" in the right direction.— Laura Leebove
