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 ΓÇ£Demon Host,ΓÇ¥ but adds increasingly more complex, yet still spare, production elements as the record progresses. ΓÇ£Until the NightΓÇ¥ features tinkling autoharp, garage rock organ, and a languid oriental melody, while ΓÇ£Trouble Comes KnockingΓÇ¥ is driven by sleazy strip-club saxophone and a throbbing bass drum beat. Throughout, TIMBER TIMBRE sounds like the soundtrack to some great lost ΓÇÿ60s B-movie, at once colorfully original and creepily unsettling.
