Concert Review: Tow’rs Build Philosophies In NYC

There is an idea that suffering comes with a purpose; as if our tragedies are destined because they carry lessons. The truth is that purpose comes with suffering, and the lessons you learn from your tragedies are really your soul’s attempt to get something good even during the worst. For Tow’rs, this notion breathes the opportunity to control yourself through life’s uncontrollability and find happiness within. 

Lining up at Rockwood, Tow’rs sung to life being life, which is harder to accept. Once you place the meaning of life in your hands, blame disappears, and you are left with tracks like, “The Kitchen,” “Tightrope Walker,” or “Girl In Calico” that promote people to ride life’s waves without thinking above as much as within. It’s not about whether Life is against you as much as how you hold yourself through whatever life is towards you. Such a message was, naturally, well-received by the crowd, particularly youths that are terrified by the future. It may not seem like a cause, but life seems hardest to accept when we think of what it will become, of which lead singers Kyle and Gretta Miller balm our worries. 

Pensive and philosophical are two ways to describe Tow’rs music, of which the Millers’ vocals appear softly Socratic. You can simply envision Greek philosophers surrounding them to hear what their bright, young minds think are the resolution to worry and woes. While finding peace in imperfection might be one of their proposals, the love they  carry as a band is their implicit resolution. Having started since 2014, Tow’rs play like bunch of students gathering to recall what their professors, Love and Music, have taught them. They treat their performance like an open exchange of ideas, of which their songs are the instances meant to solidify both theirs and the audience’s gathering stories. Thus, it feels warmly befitting that their vocals and melodies are pure and holistic in nature.

Sounding earthed and sacred are similar to Yves Jarvis in singing to life being a series of rebirths; every mesmerizing moment sparking a new and, if you choose, stronger version of you. Thus, as they sing and laugh together, they emanate calm in their audience that says, “Don’t worry! The next version of you will be better than the last.” For More Information On Tow’rs Click Here.
