So, during the last month, I've managed to find and fall in love with a band that sounds like, what i can only describe as, the ability to hear a psycho-thriller movie while being completely deaf. I know that sounds like a bit of a mouth-full, or even a mind-full, but just close your eyes and listen to their music (especially from the album "Creep on Creepin' on") and tell me that you don't feel the exact same way. If you dont feel this way, then im sorry, and its fair to say that my blog probably isn't for you. On the other hand, if you do think that this description of Timber Timbre's music is accurate, then maybe we should have a Star Wars wedding and run off into the sunset. End of.
So, this is 2/3 of the music trio that make up the magical Timber Timbre. Their names are Simon Trottier and Mika Posen. The third one that isn't in this picture is called Taylor Kirk. Its not that i dont like Taylor, i just can't find a picture of them all together. They're classed as 'Canadian Folk', but personally i feel that genre is completely misguiding, so i'm going to call them 'Swampy, ragged, blues'.
Anyway, back to the music. Timber Timbre have released four incredible albums, but i do have two favorites. One being "Creep on Creepin' on" (as mentioned above), and one self-titled album called.... wait for it..... Timber Timbre. If you didn't get that then maybe you're not paying enough attention. Both of these are more recent than the two previous albums released in 2006 & 2007. Now, each album has a different feel to it. So, to try and put it into the context of a day, Creep on Creepin' on is good for waking up, as it contains more power and speed than the self-named album, which is lacking such aspects. This album also contains two experimental-like tracks, which are lyric-less and full of noises that resemble what i think the Devil's violin would sound like. None-the-less, they are well structured and are worth the occasional listen, but probably not the best idea if you're just waking up as you will probably shortly after find your iPod in 20,000,000 pieces on the floor on the opposite side of the room once you've eventually gotten out of bed. Anyway, these tracks are called 'Obelisk' and 'Swamp Magic', and should be steered clear of in the early morning hours.
Second album, 'Timber Timbre', very good for listening to before bed, or to stop yourself from jumping off a building into a pool of heavy traffic. Lots of calming melodies and vocals, and a heavy use of reverb and echo, that would usually annoy me to the point of no return, but for some reason i seem to even enjoy it on this album. Generally good, little bit repetitive, but not so much that you get confused which song you're listening to, because thats really annoying, and makes me want to take my eyes out and put them in my ears (exaggeration).
Finally, the spooky artwork of the albums should make you want to listen to them enough without even reading this blog.
