Ontario-based melancholic blues rockers TIMBER TIMBRE report back with new music this spring. The album Sincerely, Future Pollution arrives on April the 7th via City Slang, following 2014’s Hot Dreams. And, of course, the current political environment shaped their new release as well as leading man Taylor Kirk confirms in a statement released with the press:
‘2016 was a very difficult time to observe. I hate to admit that normally I express more sensitivity than concern politically, but I think the tone and result on the record is utter chaos and confusion. When we were recording, the premonition was that the events we saw unfolding were an elaborate hoax. But the mockery made of our power system spawned a lot of dark, dystopic thoughts and ideas. And then it all happened, while everyone was on Instagram. The sewers overflowed.’
And that’s basically what the album’s first single Sewer Blues is all about. You can watch the sinister clip below the LP’s details. A second clip arrives in the form of the LP’s opening track Velvet Gloves & Spit, created by artist and poet Cristine Brache. We also got a still quite interesting interview with the band from back in 2014 right here.
