Were we to believe all the press releases we get here in the Culch basement everyone making music today has a unique sound that defies classification and is unlike anything we’ve ever heard before. Sadly this is rarely true but With Timber Timbre these claims at least carry some weight.
While they sit in the general folk/blues/country territory occupied by the likes of Bon Iver and the Low Anthem there is something about Timber Timbre that is a little more difficult to define. A haunted feeling runs through their debut album. Usually when haunting is used to describe music it just means high pitched but this is something different. It’s the sound of your older brother telling ghost stories or the voice inside your head telling you to check beneath your bed before you go to sleep. This sense of unease is what makes Timber Timbre stand out from the guitar wielding, beard growing, plaid wearing masses.
The self-titled album is released on September 17th on Full Time Hobby and you can get a free download of the first single ‘Demon Host’ from here. You can also see them live at this years Electric Picnic.
