Timber Timbre两个词发音相同,一个译为木质,一个译为音色。这也确实符合乐队的风格“木质音色”,乐队的主要成员就是Taylor Kirk一个人和一把木吉他(我找不到太多关于乐队的介绍,不过看过几段他的视频总是有个女人长伴左右,不知何人),自弹自唱着简单的歌谣,今年的这张同名专辑已经是他的第三张专辑(06年首张专辑Cedar Shakes和07年的Medicinals),去年夏天他便着手于这张专辑的录制。在Mika Posen(Forest City Lovers) 、Bruce Peninsula、Chris Stringer 等人的共同帮助下完成这张专辑, Taylor Kirk深受乡村、民谣、山地摇滚的影响,所以专辑也是一片复古情节,所以可能不大适合现在的年轻人听,喜欢怀旧的朋友不妨听听。

The haunted-sounding Canadian indie folk act Timber Timbre feature singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Taylor Kirk, who is supported by keyboardist/percussionist/violinist Mika Posen and guitarist/percussionist Simon Trottier. Taking inspiration for the project's name from a cabin in Ontario where Kirk made some of his first recordings, Timber Timbre released two albums, 2006's Cedar Shakes and the following year's Medicinals, independently before signing to the Canadian imprint Arts & Crafts. The label released Timber Timbre's self-titled album, which made the Polaris Prize long list, in 2009. Kirk and company spent much of 2010 touring with artists such as Jónsi and the Low Anthem, and also performed at that year’s Calgary Folk Festival and Vancouver Folk Fest. Timber Timbre returned with their fourth album, Creep on Creepin' On, in early 2011, which found its way onto the short list for the Polaris Prize. They toured throughout much of 2012 and supported Laura Marling for a string of U.K. dates, and then fellow countrywoman Feist on her tour of America. In 2013 they returned to the studio to lay tracks down for their fifth record, Hot Dreams, which was set for release in 2014.
