Short History, Discography & Links
Third Mind Records has always proven to be the home of the most innovative electronic and experimental bands, and this tradition is carried on with PRAYER TOWER, a new Canadian addition to their roster. The band's hi-tech, ultra-clean sound places just as much importance on strong and catchy songwriting as it does on strange electronic noises and "Hellraiser" samples. With so much of today's electronic music sounding the same, PRAYER TOWER comes as a breath of fresh air. The debut LP, "Halo" is right up there as one of the best electronic albums of all time.
PRAYER TOWER is essentially the solo project of musician Robert Weston. Weston, however, prefers to see the project as a "band," even when it is just him.
"It really is a band in a sense, whether it's just myself or five different people," he explains. "PRAYER TOWER is more of an extension of the music than just calling myself Robert WESTON. You don't see very many artists going by their names in the industrial genre of music."
Purists will argue that PRAYER TOWER are not really "industrial," and Weston agrees that the music bears little similarity to the early industrial music. But he is not uncomfortable with the term and repeatedly uses it when discussing the music. One difference between PRAYER TOWER and some other electronic bands is the content of the lyrics, as Weston prefers to write more personal songs than make music "about the movie Blade Runner or whatever.".
