Timber Timbre is a Canadian music project that has been enveloping listeners in their hauntingly unique blend of folk, blues, and indie rock since the early 2000s. The brainchild of Taylor Kirk, the primary songwriter and driving force of the group, Timber Timbre is known for its distinctive fusion of eerie, cinematic atmosphere with Kirk's baritone voice and poetic lyricism. The band's name, originally 'Timber Timbre' as a reference to an early recording location in a timber-framed cabin, evokes the woodsy, organic, and sometimes spooky sound they produce.

The band's catalogue, imbued with a noirish, vintage quality, has continually evolved over the years. Albums like "Sincerely, Future Pollution" (2017) showcase a more electronic and synth-based direction, while retaining the ghostly storytelling that is Timber Timbre's hallmark. The release of "Hot Dreams" in 2014 earned critical acclaim, further solidifying their reputation for crafting atmospheric and provocative tunes. Through songs like "Sugar Land" and "Les Egouts", Timber Timbre conjures vivid narratives and moodscapes that resonate with the listener long after the music has stopped. Their unique sound, often accompanied by their visually striking and thematically complementary music videos, continues to challenge and blur the boundaries between genres.
