This new album entitled Creep On Creepin' On by Timber Timbre I've had in my player quite frequently lately. I just had to share it. They're a dark swampy bluesy folk trio from Canada that conjure a spooky smokey mood that you can't help but be hypnotized by. They slowly build their merky atmosphere with deep baritone guitars , delicate violin and lapsteel, minimal percussion, saxophone, and cunning use of keyboards, samplers and loop pedals. All this woven together with the deep country-folk flecked soulful croons of main singer-songwriter Taylor Kirk. The vibe is akin to bands like Morphine, Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen, Nick Cave, although they really have cornered a sound all their own with everything that's going on. I mean they're on Arts and Crafts Records so you have to expect a lot more arty experimentation, which is obviously apparant. Anyway, definitely worth a listen. I've fallen deeply in love with this band. If you like this, their self-titled that came out a few years ago is very similar and also highly recommended. The one before that (debut) you'll get a lot more of a lofi production value, especially on the vocals, also worth a go, but different tonally.
