     As ever stretching the boundaries of their musical
     understanding and looking for new ways to express themselves,
     this is a pretty adventurous album even by Motorpsycho
     standards. It is easy to hear that both the new environment
     and the new co-conspirators - very much including new drummer
     Tomas JΣrmyr - influenced the band: this sounds nothing like
     any previous Motorpsycho album! Musically this is in parts the
     hardest album Motorpsycho has perpetrated in a while, and the
     material runs the gamut from short and sweet to lengthy and
     mean - even touching on heavy or stoner rock in places. It
     certainly is of a rather more explosive nature than most of
     their last album Here Be Monsters: the sounds are gnarlier and
     the riffs bigger, and where the last album to some perhaps was
     a tad too introvert, this album reflects the period it was
     written and is more concerned with us than me - with changes
     in society rather than personal issues. These are strange
     days, and the lyrics reflect this. Surviving yet another
     change in personnel, Motorpsycho bounces back and shows yet
     again that the band is bigger than the individual players and
     that it intends to survive whatever challenges fate throws at
     it. The Tower, then, is a statement of intent from a band that
     is very much alive and kicking: this is the start of a new era
     in the Psychoverse, and the album stands as solid proof that
     thereÆs bite in the old dog yet!

     The Tower was recorded at White Buffalo in Los Angeles and
     Rancho De La Luna in Joshua Tree, with some additional work
     done back home in Trondheim. It was mixed by Noah Shain at
     White Buffalo and mastered Wim Bult at Inlinemastering.
