On the new track "The Kanetown City Rips"

"(Kanetown)—with its three restrained movements and memorable, cyclical vocal melodies—is both a memorable listen and exactly the move that elicits talk of maturation. They still sound like they’ve found that sweet spot between the Unicorns’ adolescent buoyancy and Islands’ boring aimlessness, but you won’t hear Nick Thorburn singing “There’s no higher ground to find here” with this kind of simplicity, or setting up a song’s inexorable march for a lovely key change in its final section." — Conrad Amenta, Cokemachineglow.com

"Jumbling Towers, from when I first heard them back in May of last year, have been working themselves steadily into one of my favourite new bands. "The Kanetown City Rips" is from their forthcoming album, and was specially released to us, and you, in advance. Jumbling Towers are fiery, flourishing, fearless, and their weapons are many and strong." — Dan, saidthegramaphone.com

"it's really, really good. Like the kind of song that plays in a movie at its denouement, after something significant has happened, and the characters are riding off into the sunset. A foggy nightmare beamed in from another era." — Annie Zaleski, Riverftont Times

Early Classy Entertainment reviews

"As an entry point for listeners and catalyst for stylistic reorganization, Classy Entertainment manages the Towers' propensity for theatricality in a more cohesive way, herding song through narrow structures but allowing them to thrash against and from within." — Conrad Amenta, cokemachineglow.com

"Accept DeBoer's manic, convulsive singing style in all of its performative glory... and enjoy some of the most tightly constructed, convincingly performed indie rock in town." — Christian Schaeffer, River Front Times

“I urge you to follow the grim extended come-hither finger from the caped and shadowy Jumbling Towers, all haunted stomp and flash-eyed flourish. Because they deliver on promises made. His voice is part snake part fireworks, part challenge-to-a-dual, part running-out-of-fuel. And his band around him creeps jangling and moaning through dawn.” —

“It continues in the vein of their excellent self-titled debut full length. Dry production, rhodes piano, spooky synths and highly affected vocals.” — dividing.wordpress.com

“I’m quite digging Entertainment.” — River Front Times, A to Z

"[Classy Entertainment has a] neo-classic sound that doesn't depend on pure retro for retro's sake. The focus is instead on attitude, revolving around a dramatic lead singer that draws complete attention from first listen. — Mish Mash Music Reviews
