Timber Timbre: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

The music of Canada s Timber Timbre is often strange and unsettling. The band, led by Taylor Kirk a crooner with a deceptively sweet voice makes spare, evenly paced songs that sound like latenight echoes from a swampy woods. It s the kind of music you d expect to hear in a David Lynch movie, or in HBO s deeply disturbing series True Detective: dark and unnerving, yet oddly seductive. It s an eerie, mysterious vibe that s nearly impossible to recreate while playing live in someone s office at 2 o clock on a Wednesday afternoon. But that s just what Timber Timbre does for a captivated crowd in this Tiny Desk performance. Taylor Kirk is a man of few words. For this performance, he lets the music do all the talking as the quartet eases its way through three songs from the band s latest album, the smoldering Hot Dreams. The set includes the title track, the truly creepy Run From Me ( Run from me, darlin, you better run for your life ), and Grand ROBIN HILTON Set List Hot Dreams Run From
