Toronto multi-artist Geordie Gordon, is known for his work with U.S. Girls and Islands, he was ready for a long tour in support of U.S. Girls’ album, Heavy Light, when all plans went out the window because of the raging pandemic.

The result of the time off is, his album The Tower, a batch of pensive songs entirely conceived of and captured while cocooned in his Toronto apartment. During the first Ontario lockdown, Gordon wound up on a chat thread with members of the Toronto band, the Bicycles, who initiated a “song a week” initiative, whereby everyone involved wrote and recorded one song within a week. Conceived for that challenge, Gordon has released new single, “4-Track,” accompanied by a video.

The Tower reflects that gift: songs about separation and disconnection, about bigotry and tragedy, about galvanization and hope, about love, love, love—these are songs for and about right here, right now, but because of how they’re presented, they’ll transcend this time and live with us forever.
