Aussie indie electro pop band Confidence Man return with their follow-up full of dance tracks with nods to various sounds including house, disco and funk.
The album opens with single Woman, which, along with its house vibes, ultimately belongs on a dancefloor.
Feels Like A Different Thing appears to take some 90s dance influence along with drum and bass sounds similar to Chase & Status where What I Like contains disco elements not too far from the acid jazz sound of Jamiroquai.
Toy Boy is one of the catchier songs of the record as is lead single Holiday, for which I would argue the verses are better than the chorus.
Trumpet Song is a funky track built on a jazz riff aided by a backing beat reminiscent of Faithless whereas Angry Girl is a comedic narration by the eponymous character.
Relieve The Pressure is a lengthy outro with some French vocals and even contains elements of breakbeat and jungle akin to early Prodigy.
Overall, TILT is a decent effort and I believe the band could receive some serious airplay on radio and in clubs if their fame could transcend past the land of Oz.
