Check Out: Tally Hall – “You & Me” (CoS Premiere)

By Derek Staples on May 2nd, 2011 in Check Out, CoS Premiere, News

It has been nearly half a decade since Tally Hall first dropped their arcade-inspired debut effort, 2005′s Marvin’s Marvelous Mechanical Museum, but the five piece have rediscovered their pop sensibilities and color-coded neckties for their forthcoming summer release, GOOD & EVIL.

After splitting ways with Atlantic records, who re-released Marvin’s Marvelous Mechanical Museum in 2008, Joe Hawley (Red Tie), Zubin Sedghi (Blue Tie), Rob Cantor (Yellow Tie), Ross Federman (Gray Tie), and Andrew Horowitz (Green Tie) are set to release GOOD & EVIL independently via Quack! Media. Produced by Tony Hoffer (Beck, Depeche Mode, Bell & Sebastian), the album’s new single “You and Me” shares many characteristics with Belle & Sebastian’s indie-pop tracks. The track has a bright melody, crisp vocals courtesy of Rob Cantor, and even if you can’t remember the words, you will definitely be humming the tune for the rest of the afternoon. So, find that special friend, pick up one of those earphone splitters, and enjoy the new track during a stroll in the springtime sunshine.

GOOD & EVIL will be released June 21st in digital, CD, and as a limited edition deluxe vinyl.

    Ah this is awesome. The whole CD will be awesome. I’m especially looking forward to see how Hymn For A Scarecrow, Turn the Lights Off, and the two songs I’ve never heard turn out. Mind Control, I believe? Also I wish Maybe In The Night would be on G&E. Sweet guitar solo.

    I really like it. Sounds different from MMMM. I’m not really sure of the word to describe it…newer maybe? At the risk of sounding like a hipster, perhaps a bit more of a mainstream feel, but with that signature wonky TH vibe.

    Also, I’m not even sure of what drum crashes you’re talking about Quietforests…

    Quite happy you guys dumped Atlantic, to be honest, I felt the original album release on Quack! had a much better sound than the Atlantic one. Ever since I heard this, &, and Hymn for a Scarecrow, I’ve been anxiously awaiting the release of this album.

    So good to finally hear the full, higher quality version of the song rather than the snippet we’ve been hearing for the last 14 months on HITS. (http://www.hiddeninthesand.com/blogs/2010/03/you-me-sample)

    My favorite CoS premiere so far. I love these guys.

    Been anticipating this album for YEARS, but I don’t care for that song . . . the driving drum crashes are just plain distracting. :(
