Ali Towers
Folk/blues singer/songwriter, Ali Towers was born in Robin Hood country, Nottingham, England, raised on his parentsʼ John Lennon Records and imported to Perth, WA around the turn of the century. Ali has just released a solo EP called The Used Future through Newmarket Music. The EP was recorded at Sumo Studios, Perth with Laurie McCallum (Anime Fire/Fools Rush In) and mastered by William Bowden (Bob Evans / Paul Dempsey) in Sydney. Aliʼs soul is with the Blues and Folk side of Pop in the vein of Van Morrison, Ray Lamontagne, and Tom Waits, but he has a diverse back catalogue, venturing into trip hop, rock and even theatrical pieces for the Edinburgh Festival. In 2002, Ali co-wrote and recorded the successful dance track, Stay High, which debuted in Ibiza and the Miami Music festival where DJ Tall Paul added the track to his set. Before coming to Australia, Ali had been lucky enough to travel through Europe and America and has managed to play at some inspiring venues including the great CBGSʼs, before its unfortunate close. Ali aspires to masterpieces such as Van Morrisonʼs Astral Weeks, Jeff Buckleyʼs Grace, Radioheadʼs Ok Computer, Pink Floydʼs Darkside of the Moon and relishes in their ability to send shivers with powerful and lulling melodies, embedded with poetic lyrics. These factors were at the forefront of Aliʼs mind when he set foot in the studio to record The Used Future EP. The Used Future EP features 5 of Aliʼs most haunting yet commercial songs to date. As well as providing a great taster for what is in store, the EP also works as a great piece itself, its dark tales told with the aid of a string quartet, flute and lamenting Spanish guitar. Already “Album of the Week” and Number 1 on Australian Internet Radio, it is now available nationally through Newmarket Music at both major and independent retail, and online stores including Amazon and iTunes. Ali Towers is currently touring to promote the EP both solo, and with a 4 piece band, and recently supported Thirsty Merc and Village Kid.
