Timber Timbre

Timber Tim bre is finally returning with a new full-length entitled "Lovage" - the most accomplished and engrossing Timber Timbre album to date - which isn't to say that Taylor Kirk has merely refined his working methods. In fact, "Lovage" is a bona fide masterpiece, as Kirk manages to combine disparate influences that would otherwise seem mutually incompatible. Together with producer-engineer Michael Dubue, he reconciles Brian Wilson's rich sonic palette with the amused melancholy of Leonard Cohen. When asked about these influences Taylor admits these are certainly touchstones. "Brian Wilson and Leonard Cohen are among many influences that have come to embody what music is to me." Kirk admits to revisiting Sun Ra, Dorothy Ashby and Alice Coltrane as well as Italian singers such as Pino Daniele and Paolo Conte, which might explain the cinematic lightness of the new album. "Lovage" will be released on October 6th via [Integral].
