Towers is one of those albums that’s hard to get out of your mind, and definitely even harder to take off of the top of your playlist. In other words, Chelan members, Jennifer Grady and Justin Hosford, cook up an excellent batch of dreamy-pop-electro-indie folk goodness that keeps the listener coming back for seconds. Towers, released at the beginning of summer, is the Joshua Tree/Los Angeles duo’s third effort, which can be compared to the works of Camera Obscura and School of Seven Bells. Songs such as “Towers” and “Checked In” take you on erratic gorgeous highs, while “On The Water” and “Sunrise” lead you through lovely multilayered lows. Grady’s smooth jazzy vocals coupled with Hosford’s production skills (writes score for television and film) makes this a project that music lovers must get a hold of (or download) right this moment. – Nicole Dawley
