Timber Timbre stops you. The elements are deceptively simple: a
confident but hushed voice, understated guitar, harmonica, strings,
looping pedals, organ flourishes, and a subtle percussive beat. All
these sounds form a haunting resonance. Hailed ‘Album of the Year’ in a
nationwide critics' poll by Eye Weekly, this self-titled album is the
work of an otherworldly soul. Over the course of two previous records
(2006’s Cedar Shakes and 2007’s Medicinals), and spellbinding
performances in support of the likes of Great Lake Swimmers and Final
Fantasy, Timber Timbre has earned a devout following, but the years have
marked a rapid progression to the sophisticated, cinematic work found
on his newest self-titled record.
