Πυργος Αθηνων (Athens Tower) return with new single: ‘Ιπποδάμεια Θλίψης’
Πυργος Αθηνων (Athens Tower)
Two Years after the release of “11527” on tape, the Greek industrial/electro project Πύργος Αθηνων aka Athens Tower is releasing the new single-track “Ιπποδάμεια Θλίψης” (Hippodameia of Sadness).
Πύργος Αθηνών was formed in 2021, drawing inspiration from Greek poetry, classical Athens, loneliness, existentialism, and human critique. Noticeably the duo avoids visualizing their music and does not use social media. The two anonymous members recite poetry instead of singing, “striving to give voice to the city itself and imparting a human dimension to the impersonal metropolis”.
They have released the album “11527” cassette album in 2022 (including remixes by the Greek electronic projects Blakaut and Alpha Sekt) through Soil Records, preceded by the EP “210” in 2021. Due to their anonymity, they do not perform live.
Here’s their EP to check out from 2021.
And this is the full album released in 2022.
