"Towers" sits among the 10 songs on Bon Iver, Bon Iver, the second Bon Iver album, released in June 2011 and heard at the time as the band striking out in a new direction. It's very nearly a one-man job: Justin Vernon wrote it alone, words and music, produced it, engineered it with Nate Vernon while Andy Immernan assisted, and mixed it with Brian Joseph.
What comes out of that closed circle is a song that glows rather than whispers, warm and roomy, with Vernon steering every detail. The album around it took home the 2012 Grammy for Best Alternative Music Album.
