Like most inspirational art Timber Timbre comes from a source of isolation, cabin fever specifically.

Timber Timbre, primarily the work of Oshawa-born Toronto based Taylor Kirk, walks a precious line between harrowing blues and desperate death country.

Recorded in a farm house near Bobcaygeon, Ontario, their debut Cedar Shakes was released in 2006, the moniker Timber Timbre an ode to the surroundings and the warm haunting sound of the album.

2007 saw the release of Medicinals, an album recorded by Kirk in his empty Toronto apartment. “Cedar Shakes came from driving around in fields, but I don’t think Medicinals reflects the city at all actually,” Kirk told the Kingston Whig Standard. “If anything, I think Medicinals is a more fetishization of the rural landscape because ultimately, that’s where I want to be.”

Medicinals was released on Shuffling Feet records, the Peterborough based label of Jonas Bonnetta (Evening Hymns), who also mastered the record.

Toronto’s Out of this Spark records will be releasing Timber Timbre’s third album in January of 2009.
