Tower Recordings, formed in New York City in 1994 by Matt Valentine and P.G. Six, emerged as a dynamic force in the psych-folk scene. Initially rooted in lo-fi indie rock, as showcased in their 1994 release "Rehearsals for Roseland," the collective soon embraced moody psychedelia influenced by traditional English Pagan folk. Their 2001 album featured collaborations with improvisational percussionist Tim Barnes and experimental folk vocalist Samara Lubelski, highlighting their evolving sound. Releasing music on labels such as Audible Hiss, Squealer, and Siltbreeze, Tower Recordings captivated audiences with their experimental approach until 2006, when Valentine shifted focus to his duo with Erika Elder, MV & EE.
