A dark release from Grey Tower Heights

To those who live in the shadows, the outcasts, hidden in the backgrounds this artist dedicates their work to you. Grey Tower Heights is a solo project that works with themes of the tenuous sense of self, fragility and love of using dark melodies and hauntingly performed vocals. The collection of tracks feels totally unhinged, unlike anything you’ve heard, like the soundtrack to your slightly twisted alter-ego.

Each track feels uniquely flamboyant, but in a dark way, telling convoluted tales of striking fictitious characters with complicated lives. For me, this is an unusual creation that is so far from the monotony of chart music, it is bizarrely refreshing and a prolific reinvention of artistry.

The latest release from Grey Tower Heights is appropriately titled “Worse Fears”, this carries a gentler dynamic to some other releases, yet nonetheless, continues the eerie nature with delicate vocals and refined piano accompaniment. This is a shift from less of a powerful base to a place of comfort and understanding, with fewer instrumental layers, it carries an intimacy.
