Grey Tower Heights reveals ambitious new single “Dolly”

Grey Tower Heights just released an incredible new single called “Dolly,” a song that signals a dramatic shift in style for the act. Released last week and available for streaming and download today, “Dolly” is a song about consent and objectification set against a lush and haunting backdrop.

With influences ranging from Björk to Tori Amos, Lingua Ignota, and Nick Cave, the song takes an experimental shape—shifting time, mood, and tone—to deliver a multi-layered, immersive experience. “Dolly” places its listener in states of high alert and requires close listening to social norms and the way we see the past, oscillating from flirtatious to threatening.

Grey Tower Heights’ defining blend of lyrical poetry and experimental textures makes for a release that is a cornerstone in their evolution. “Dolly” is more statement than song, and an emphatic one. To those who prefer being pushed and prodded, it is necessary listening.
