Taylor Kirk, the man behind Canada's Timber Timbre, describes himself as "haunted by the history of pop music." Whatever those demons may be, the dark blues and folk music that Kirk produces is all the proof needed to see what he means. The latest Timber Timbre release is a beautifully eerie one, with Kirk's shivering yet stark baritone at the front and center of the hushed and richly-textured songs. The whole record feels as if recorded alone in some cavernous and dimly-lit room. Try "Demon Host" and "Lay Down In The Tall Grass" as your starting points.
