On 2014’s Hot Dreams, Taylor Kirk and longtime collaborator Simon Trottier daub vibrant colour across the rest-less evolution of Timber Timbre’s earthy, angular palette. The elements – Kirk’s singular intonation, quavered in slow, low register, over stark orchestration – combine in haunting resonance with rotation of music and time. Normalized is the bedrock essence of folksy and fifties Timber Timbre, now cached in smoothed, viscous tonality: new sonic admissions, ringing sensuality and caprice, neon and haze.
