Victor Towle’s new album Waiting For Today arrives as a nine track collection built around acoustic guitar, warm chords and a deliberately unhurried approach to composition. Released on October 3, 2026, the album sits within the New Age, acoustic and meditation space, drawing on Towle’s long standing connection with guitar, mindfulness, yoga and rehabilitative practice.

The Colorado based guitarist, composer and producer wrote much of Waiting For Today while reflecting on what he describes as the challenging landscape of today. Rather than pushing against that feeling, Towle allowed it to influence the pace and character of the record, resulting in an album centred on hope, relaxation and being present in the moment.

Across its nine tracks, Waiting For Today moves between acoustic guitar, electric guitar and guitar synthesizers, with Towle responsible for the composition and production of the entire album. Brian Hunter engineered and mixed the record at The Mousetrap Recording Studio in Denver, while David Glasser handled mastering at Airshow Mastering in Boulder. Victor Towle – Waiting for Toda…

Tracks including “Lingering In The Long Shadows” and “Wondering Home” favour a gradual, reflective progression rather than building towards conventional climaxes. The approach reflects Towle’s interest in mindful exploration, relaxation and acceptance of the present moment. Victor Towle – Waiting for Toda…
Towle’s musical background stretches back to childhood. Born in Chicago in 1965, he received his first guitar from his grandmother at the age of ten. He began by listening to classic pop on AM radio before developing an interest in guitarists including Jeff Beck, Jimi Hendrix and Wes Montgomery. After only two weeks of guitar lessons, he performed The Beatles’ “Yesterday” for his family. Victor Towle – Waiting for Toda…
His career has also extended beyond music. Towle has worked as a Clinical Care Manager in rehabilitation and has been involved with yoga and mindfulness meditation teaching. His experience in these areas has influenced his use of guitar music within meditative, yoga and rehabilitative practices. Victor Towle – Waiting for Toda…

With Waiting For Today, Towle returns to a particularly stripped back approach, giving the guitar space to carry the music without unnecessary embellishment. The result is an album that places its emphasis on melody, atmosphere and a measured pace, continuing the connection between his music and his work with mindfulness and meditation.
