In Towers and Clouds is the first and only album released by the Dublin quartet The Immediate. The album received generally positive reviews on its launch and was nominated [2] for the 2007 Choice Music Prize.

Shortly after the album's launch, Jim Carroll, a journalist with the Irish Times, wrote an article in the newspaper's weekly entertainment supplement praising the band for choosing to release the album independently. He described the album as containing "cracking songs" and one "which gets bigger, better, bolder and brighter with every listen". This was in contrast with another Dublin based band Humanzi whose major label debut was considered a disaster.[3] After the group's disbandment critics collectively regarded In Towers & Clouds as the finest Irish debut album in the past decade.

The band performed "A Ghost In This House" at the 2007 Meteor Awards.
