Rated: ****
As we hear that blue early morning guitar tone start, we get drawn into their wavey sound. Wave upon wave that never actually crashes and just keeps on rolling in. How to describe the sound of Ann Arbor, Michigan fourpiece outfit Towner? Indie Grunge? Alternative Pop? Surf Garage? You got me. But it definitely has a sound that makes something inside you remember The Breeders or something featuring Bob Mould. It’s only four songs. But those four songs transport you to an era of goodness. You fly, or perhaps float, or maybe flutter, towards a goal you never knew you needed to reach before you heard Towner. Even if there is something wild and erratic about the compositions and some of the vocals; there is also something fragile and playful. It’s introspective and those that take the time and sit themselves properly will soon hear something highly addictive.
