Timber Timbre兩個(gè)詞發(fā)音相同，一個(gè)譯為木質(zhì)，一個(gè)譯為音色。這也確實(shí)符合樂(lè)隊(duì)的風(fēng)格“木質(zhì)音色”，樂(lè)隊(duì)的主要成員就是Taylor Kirk一個(gè)人和一把木吉他（我找不到太多關(guān)于樂(lè)隊(duì)的介紹，不過(guò)看過(guò)幾段他的視頻總是有個(gè)女人長(zhǎng)伴左右，不知何人），自彈自唱著簡(jiǎn)單的歌謠，今年的這張同名專(zhuān)輯已經(jīng)是他的第三張專(zhuān)輯（06年首張專(zhuān)輯Cedar Shakes和07年的Medicinals），去年夏天他便著手于這張專(zhuān)輯的錄制。在Mika Posen(Forest City Lovers) 、Bruce Peninsula、Chris Stringer 等人的共同幫助下完成這張專(zhuān)輯， Taylor Kirk深受鄉(xiāng)村、民謠、山地?fù)u滾的影響，所以專(zhuān)輯也是一片復(fù)古情節(jié)，所以可能不大適合現(xiàn)在的年輕人聽(tīng)，喜歡懷舊的朋友不妨聽(tīng)聽(tīng)。
Timber Timbre stops you. The elements are deceptively simple: a confident, but hushed voice, understated guitar, strings and keyboard flourishes, and a subtle percussive beat. Timber Timbre front man Taylor Kirk is making pop as if it was meant to sound haunted.
Over the course of two records, 2006's Cedar Shakes and 2007's Medicinals, Timber Timbre has gained a devoted following. Spellbinding performances opening for noted Toronto musicians Bruce Peninsula and Ohbijou have earned Kirk more fans. The years have also marked a rapid progression from a dusty, low-fi bedroom blues to the sophisticated, cinematic studio work found on his newest self-titled record, set for release in January 2009 by Toronto based record label Out of this Spark.
Recording for the new album began in the summer of 2008 at Kirk's home studio and in the fall Timber Timbre put final touches on the record at the Lincoln County Social Club with producer Chris Stringer (The D'Urbervilles, Ohbijou, Rush, David Wilcox).
Despite Timber Timbre being the project of Kirk, the recording of this record was a community affair. Guests on the record include some luminaries of Toronto's pop underground. Mika Posen (Forest City Lovers) contributed string arrangements, as did the singers of Bruce Peninsula.
The sum of the parts, however, is something grounded in a strange place where genre descriptions like blues, country, and folk intersect becoming secondary to the precision of the moods being conjured.
