Timber Timbre - Hot Dreams (Arts & Crafts).
Taylor Kirk is never less than menacing on Timber Timbre's surreal Hot Dreams, released April 1. Listening to his dry, sardonic readings of tunes like "Curtains" and "Bring Me Simple Men" you never really know if he's deadly serious or putting one over on you.
Guests include Tasseomancy's Romy Lightman on background vocals and Colin Stetson on "velvet saxophone."
These are murder ballads filtered through the dread vox of David Lynch and executed with the artistic precision of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.
Timber Timbre play the Commodore on Tuesday, June 10.
