Fresh and local: Ivory Towers' Vile conjures escape to better place

      Vile

      The last time we heard from Quinne Rodgers, she was conjuring up the demons within as a member of art-noise terrorists MYTHS.

      Vile, the second outing from her solo project Ivory Towers, is a decidedly less abrasive affair, the dreamy soundscapes largely built around teardrop keyboards and ghostly vocals. Despite the EP’s name, not to mention song titles like “No Devil Lived On” and “The Midgard Serpent”, this is lovely, meditative stuff.

      Rodgers samples and loops her own ethereal vocals to create a vibe that’s otherworldly without being terrifying.

      And given the way that things are going in this world, who the hell doesn’t want art that’s going to help us escape to a better place?
