Timber Timbre- "Black Water"

Videosadmin1 Comment

Timber Timbre drops a video for Creep On Creepin' On's "Black Water," which just might be one of the creepiest albums of 2011.

The video as directed by "Exploding Motor Car," and I thought everything in this video was an awesome, underwater sea urchin until I realized they're all puppets. Hooray for fooling me, I guess. Still, I think seeing all these things bring this lost diver up to the light is a little spine-tingling.

Timber Timbre- Creep On Creepin' On

Timber Timbre's latest album is a scarily obsessive look at one man's post-relationship trauma. The infatuation in the lyrics here runs deep, and it's tempting to hear the record from beginning to end just to see how bad the train wreck gets. Not that lyrics and some mild psychosis are all this album has going for it. There are plenty of fantastic arrangements, which were created with the aid of Mathieu Charbonneau. Colin Stetson lays some great horn parts down, and Mark Lawson helped take the Timber's production up another level.

The music--outside of the instrumentals--lives in a world were doo wop and rockabilly reign supreme. And it puts an innocent backdrop behind the insane musings of this character painted in the words.

It's a shadowy standout in the world of lovesick albums.

Back when my blog was bumpin' in '09, Timber Timbre was one of the most interesting projects I had come across that year. It's all masterminded by Canadian songwriter Taylor Kirk. He's got a voice that's equally beautiful and odd, and most of his tunes take an eerie approach to timeless pop and folk music. "Black Water" is the first single to drop from Timber Timbre's upcoming album, Creep On Creepin' On, and I'm really loving it. The bouncing vocal reverb, worn out chorus, shy piano chords, and the ending build of instrumentation make this an album I'm highly anticipating.

Creep On will be released via Arts & Crafts on 4/5. Hit up the pre-order now and get a single for the track streaming below. Nice!
