In a year of amazing releases, this was my album of the year without a doubt.

I don't say this lightly, as this has been a great year for music so far. But this is my favorite album of the year. Urban Heat is truly on fire. Somehow they keep setting the bar higher. Not a single bad track on this album, with my favorites being Sanitizer, Say the Words, and Seven Safe Places.
Favorite track: Sanitizer.

about
The Tower marks Urban Heat's highly anticipated sophomore full-length. A highly personal album, the title pulls reference from The Tower Tarot card, which is widely associated with danger, crisis, sudden change, destruction, higher learning, and liberation, and the album itself features the band at their absolute peak. Songs like the arena-ready “Seven Safe Places” and the intricately steady “Take it to Your Grave,” show the band’s sonic versatility. The latter, which best exemplifies the majority of the record, is about feelings of unworthiness and fears of self-sabotage. Introspectiveness dots Horstmann's lyrics, driving home its power and relatability.
"The Tower is a story of a band that has begun to spread its wings, has taken the plunge into the unknown, and put thousands of miles under its feet. The Tower is moments of jubilation and moments of fear. The unbelievable joy of creation and the anxiety of fucking it all up. Ultimately it is a bridge, leading us from who we were when we started this, to all of the possibilities of the future.”

Not one weak track, and the vinyl is a really quality pressing! Just buy it. Hard to pick a favorite, but "Obsession" just hits me the most.

It Will Come To You LP
by ACTORSsupported by 179 fans who also own “The Tower”
It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days. Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago.

A bit late to the Shannon Hemmett party, this is her debut EP. Debut album "Ultraviolet" also available and is definitely worth a listen too.

Dark, romantic, nostalgic, and memorable. This isn't my genre of expertise, but I think that shows the quality of music Twin Tribes released with this album.
