Tilbury plays dramatic folk pop led by synthesizers by Kristinn Evertsson (Valdimar) and sixties guitar sound by Orn Eldjarn (Brother Grass). Guðmundur Óskar Guðmundsson (Hjaltalín) decorates the sound with his French-ish baselines and drummer Magnús Trygvason Eliassen (Sin Fang, Amiina, Moses Hightower) binds it all together with his dynamic drumming.
Tilbury's debut album, Exorcise was released in May 2012 on Record Records. Their newest album, So Overwhelming, was released in April 2023 after a decade-long hiatus. Best comeback album ever if you ask me.
Turbulence
Tilbury Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm a frequent flyer, I close my eyes, and I can feel the earth pulling down on me.
I close my eyes...
I fall on my head, just to hear you calling out my name, I'm smiling on the inside out.
you can catch me cause you're (can't catch this.
i can feel the air pressing on my skin, take me to the island over there.
i fall my head, just to hear.
i dont really mind this turbulance.
i fall my head
smiling on the inside inside out.
