The American Dream

Timber Timbre have created high but not insurmountable with their first albums the bar for future discs. The minimalist, very creepy, dense arrangements are usually worn by oblique bass (although the three-piece band nominally no bassist has), singer Taylor Kirk murmurs somewhere between monotonous Elvis, Beck and Tindersticks the biting, dark lines of text on the sound tissue. That has not changed even if the "Hot Dreams". The "creepy" songwriting of Kanaider has however obtained by excellent production and three years maturing process some exciting nuances. From the opening track "Beat the Drum Slowly" to be clear where we are going: Malignant small Soundtracks, take the time clear bonds with Morricone, quiet ballads, which prove to be false friends in the texts. And the saxophone, which could not be more ironic. The folk and country bonds allow the album to road trip through the United States are out of the Canadian forests in the Wild West. The focal point is the brilliant "Grand Canyon", which also Nancy Sinatra could have sung, but even double bottom has. It is a varied, exciting, sometimes scary journey.
