in
By Jared Morano (CHARTattack) January 13, 2009 10:13 am
Timber Timbre is the brainchild of Torontonian Taylor Kirk, a cream-voiced eccentric folky who loves his reverb. His new self-titled album sounds like it was recorded in a spooky attic by a man locked in a cage and abandoned since he was seven, or maybe it was recorded in some decaying, gothic cathedral by the spirits of dead parishoners stuck in...

Video Of The Day: Timber Timbre's "Black Water"

in

It seems almost impossible, but Timber Timbre's video for "Black Water" probably outranks everything Taylor Kirk and company have ever done in terms of its creepiness. On a scale of 1 to 10 in terms of creeptasticness, it would probably rank at about a 15.5. Some sort of shipwreck happened, and a poor unfortunate soul is trapped inside the...

Kirk seems well aware of that standing, which might explain why Timber Timbre's new album is called Creep On Creepin' On. The 10-track album is out April 5 through Arts & Crafts. Kirk...
