Timber Timbre

Timber Timbre is a band that a friend just go me interested in and I have been cracked out on for a few days. Probably the reason that I love them so much is the music style they play; it's clearly folk, but has some really noticeable blues roots which add an emotional connection to the listener. An interesting effect that's easy to hear by listening to their music is that they use reverb (for those who don't know, its what gives the voices a kind of ghostly after-note). This works because if you listen to their lyrics you will find that they they are so gut-wrenchingly depressing it's hard to listen to. So while I don't recommend listening to them while you are really happy, you should know that the reason they do this is to connect with the listener. Since it's difficult to completely connect with someone listening to the music, Timber Timbre extends the mood through music videos; they are all strange, but use images that make you feel hollow inside, even though you have no idea why you feel that way. The bottom line is sure these guys are good at music, but their real forte is connecting with the audience using both visual and audible elements.

Just to give you a quick synopsis of the band, its three musicians named Simon Trottier, Taylor Kirk, and Mika Posen. Taylor is the only vocalist, and then between the three of them they play a large assortment of instruments, (violin, guitar, lap guitar, bass, etc). They hail from the great white north, (representing us Mounties) and play great music. Go check them out
