Water Tower is the new two-track single from Pete Astor, the seasoned and erudite Indie auteur, ex-leader of Creation Records' favourites The Loft and The Weather Prophets.

It features all new material, again made with James Hoare of Ultimate Painting, Proper Ornaments, and Veronica Falls. He is now joined by The Wave Pictures' rhythm section of Franic Rozycki on bass and Jonny Helm on drums; Pam Berry of Withered Hand and Black Tambourine contributes vocals.

The record appears on Pete's new label, Tapete, where he will be in the excellent company of kindred spirits Robert Forster, Lloyd Cole, and Martin Carr to name but a few.
