Timber Timbre announce new record Sincerely, Future Pollution

The album is the eagerly awaited follow up to the Polaris and JUNO nominated LP Hot Dreams. It's their fourth in total and was written in late 2015/early 2016, and then arranged during a "focused" Montreal winter.

"2016 was a very difficult time to observe," says the band's Taylor Kirk. "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."

The trio, rounded out by Mathieu Charbonneau and Simon Trottier, decamped to just outside Paris to record with "secret weapon" Oliver Fairfield on percussion.

"My solitary sketching was left more rudimentary than in the past," says Kirk of the writing/recorded process. "The prior records, I’d decided what they were going to sound like. I’d imagined the arrangements when the songs were sketched. Down to anomalous sounds. There was a vision that was manageable somehow. This album was much less focused that way, but far more complex. It was complicated and challenging to the end, every detail seeming somehow counterintuitive."
