Good Day Noir Family,
Listening to Dolly, the new single from Grey Tower Heights, feels like stepping through a trapdoor into an unstable dream.
Dolly is Grey Tower Heights’ Single Out Now
There’s a strange kind of tension in the air from the incipit, a rhythmic pull that sets your mind spinning.
Grey Tower Heights has long been an artist unafraid to challenge form and stretch boundaries, but Dolly pushes even further into experimental territory with fearless grace.
The track opens with a groove that locks into your brain almost instantly, hypnotic and twitchy. The piano doesn’t offer comfort—it flickers and fidgets with unstable melodies, like it’s searching for footing on shifting ground.
Over it, the voice arrives in a breathy hiss, treated with a megaphone-like distortion that makes it feel intimate and detached, as though whispered directly into your mind from somewhere far away.
Then, right after the first minute, the entire piece transforms. It’s not a transition, it’s a portal. Suddenly, you’re inside something that feels like a twisted fairy tale. The tone becomes lush but eerie, and the vocals turn theatrical, almost baroque. They cradle you, but not for long, this artist doesn’t aim for comfort. The lull is brief, and it’s part of the trick. She wants you off balance. She wants you to think.
Background harmonies float in like spells, creating an almost ritualistic haze. Then, with a flick of sonic violence, the tone curdles. The atmosphere darkens, growing tense and vaguely paranoid. High-pitched piano notes start slicing through the mix like knives, each one sharper than the last, leaving behind a sense of suspended time, like you’ve been trapped in an endless moment.
Grey Tower Heights has crafted a song that doesn’t just unfold, it mutates. Dolly isn’t content to live in one emotional space. It spirals, shifting shape just as you think you’ve understood it. The result is disarming, theatrical, and rich in strange beauty.

Dolly is Grey Tower Heights’ Single Out Now
Lyrically rich and musically bold, Dolly signals a powerful new phase for Grey Tower Heights—one defined by risk, transformation, and emotional truth.
Grey Tower Heights was born as a solo project, following a long career of collaboration. Drawing on themes of lost love, fragility and our tenuous sense of self, the songs are steeped in melancholy. Piano led, lyrically dark and narrative in nature, these songs are lifted by haunting vocals and complex harmonies. Taking inspiration from artists such as Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits and Nick Cave, Grey Tower Heights shines a light on the darkness that exists in us all.
