Timber TimbreTimber TimbreAlbumDescription: Singer-songwriter Taylor Kirk known professionally as Timber Timbre garnered attention is his native Canada by delivering a dark mysterious combination of folk blues and indie rock that was often both contemporary and ancient-sounding. His self-titled album opens with the unadorned guitar-and-vocal 'Demon Host' but adds increasingly more complex yet still spare production elements as the record progresses. 'Until the Night' features tinkling autoharp garage rock organ and a languid oriental melody while 'Trouble Comes Knocking' is driven by sleazy strip-club saxophone and a throbbing bass drum beat. Throughout 'Timber Timbre' sounds like the soundtrack to some great lost '60s b-movie at once colourfully original and creepily unsettling.
