Singer-songwriter Taylor Kirk garnered attention is his native Canada by delivering a dark, mysterious combination of folk, blues, and indie rock that was both contemporary and ancient-sounding on this self-titled album from 2009. It 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.

Hot Dreams - 2026 Repress

Full Time Hobby

On 2014’s 'Hot Dreams', Taylor Kirk and longtime collaborator Simon Trottier daub vibrant colour across the rest-less evolution of Timber Timbre’s earthy, angular palette. The elements – Kirk’s singular intonation, quavered in slow, low register, over stark orchestration – combine in haunting resonance with rotation of music and time. Normalized is the bedrock essence of folksy and fifties Timber Timbre, now cached in smoothed, viscous tonality: new sonic admissions, ringing sensuality and caprice, neon and haze.

Full Time Hobby

The follow-up to 2009’s self-titled release, multi instrumentalists Taylor Kirk, Mika Posen and Simon Trottier come together again on heartrending compositions that engage, transport and challenge. 'Creep On Creepin’ On' (2011) moves forward from the band’s Polaris Music Prize long listed Timber Timbre, towards the realization of its ability to simultaneously invoke and disguise the most essential elements of pop and rock music with chilling authenticity.

From guttural groans on lead track 'Bad Ritual' to the eerie doo-wop-inspired pleas of 'Lonesome Hunter', the album is textured and commanding, stirring proof of the unwavering powers of obsession and possession.

The album also includes appearances by acclaimed pianist Mathieu Charbonneau and saxophonist Colin Stetson, both of whom Kirk credits with elevating the caliber of the album’s arrangements as well as its overall sound. While settings and collaborators continue to change for the band, the guiding inspiration behind the songs has not - “The idea is to make music we love and therefore embrace the risk of sounding like all the music we’ve ever loved, all at once,” Kirk explains.

The result is Timber Timbre’s most brilliant and robust record to date, a collection of 10 tracks that expands to incorporate rich and varied melodies, affecting lyricism and evocative vintage instrumentation. With 'Creep On Creepin’ On', Timber Timbre has succeeded in reaching a place it was long destined for, where its music is as powerful and extraordinary as it has always been unmistakable.

Cover of Sincerely, Future Pollution by Timber Timbre.

Sincerely, Future Pollution

City Slang

On its fourth record – Sincerely, Future Pollution – Timber Timbre coats the stark, sensual sound of 2014’s Hot Dreams in an oil-black rainbow of municipal grime. It is the cinema of a dizzying dystopia, rattled by the science fiction of this bluntly nonfictional time.

Sincerely, Future Pollution stands out in Timber Timbre’s catalogue of imagistic records, with Taylor Kirk and band-mates Mathieu Charbonneau and Simon Trottier taking a unique approach to Timber Timbre’s process of sonic invention. Kirk wrote the songs in late 2015/early 2016, then arranged the music over a “very focused” Montreal winter with the veteran Timber Timbre members.

If each Timber Timbre record is framed in genre play, on Sincerely, Future Pollution, the components are the most askew: the glam of Roxy Music; the plaintive pop of Talk Talk; the disquiet of Suicide; the invincibility of Talking Heads; the haunting This Mortal Coil. All (and more) unlikely references are present, tethering Timber Timbre’s experimentation to points of familiarity. The range is an acute angle from New Age to Popular French Disco Revival like Daft Punk and Air, filtered through Timber Timbre’s painterly imagination. Freshly exhumed, Sincerely, Future Pollution is a portent from the bygone year 2016.

STAFF COMMENTS

Barry says: Sleazy glam basslines, euphoric digital pads and funked out guitars sway and swarm into the visceral vocal stylings of Taylor Kirk. A meticulously crafted, and brilliantly emotive outpouring from beginning to end.

Canada’s Timber Timbre release the follow up to their 2010 self-titled debut.

Recorded in a converted church studio, "Creep On Creepin’ On" marks a musical move forward for the band as we hear denser textures and everchanging collaborations. However, their trademark haunting sound, one that defies categorisation, is omnipresent throughout this obsessive and commanding album.
