Timber Timbre is a Canadian folk rock band, whose sole core member is singer-songwriter Taylor Kirk.^[1] His stage name is a play on the sound of his beat-up guitar (timbre) and the noise his father would yell (timber) when trees crashed on the farm where he was raised, an hour north of Brooklin, Ontario.^[2]

Kirk released two albums independently before releasing a self-titled album on Out of this Spark in January 2009. He subsequently signed to Arts & Crafts, who re-released the album on June 30 in Canada and July 28 internationally.^[3] The album was named as a longlist nominee for the 2009 Polaris Music Prize on June 15, 2009,^[4] and was deemed album of the year by Eye Weekly.^[5]

Timber Timbre's sound has been described as "an aesthetic rooted in swampy, ragged blues" ^[6] and "beautifully restrained blues from an alternate universe",^[7] which creates an atmosphere that is cinematic and spooky.^[8]
