TIMBER TIMBRE

I have had a lot of time to try to find new music lately because my only way of listening to tunes has been playlist.com, thanks to my practicly new external harddrive quitting out of nowhere (FUCK YOU WESTERN DIGITAL). So after my playlist had me bored (which was fast, I only had a couple of bands on there), I decided to do some LastFM browsing. LastFM is every music lover's bestfriend, in case you didn't get the memo. It tracks what bands and songs you listen to, builds charts of how frequently you listen to them, and then makes recommendations of new bands to try out based on information they've gathered. Plus, they have awesome online radio where you can listen by 'similar bands' or genre, or whatever.

ANYWAY, clicking around I happened upon Timber Timbe. I added them to my playlist, and over the last couple of days they have really stood out and caught my attention. Out of the woods of Canada, Timber Timbre produces almost haunting, lo-fi folk that is really simple but wonderful. Kind of weirdly ethereal in a way, kind of makes you feel like you're relaxing on the porch of a log cabin, maybe about to hop a train, with a slight old time blues/country tint to it. Definitely worth a listen. At least watch the video for the song "Oh Messiah" (above) for its awesome incorporation of "Twist and Shout."
