Urban Heat "The Tower"

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.”
