With the release of Hot Dreams, Timber Timbre has made it clear their uncanny knack for spooky yet seductive songs is their stock of trade.
While their previous releases have dabbled in the more muddled shades of musicality, this release seems like an intentional side step into the shadows. Unfolding like some whacked out spaghetti western film noir soundtrack, Hot Dreams delivers some of the most rollicking music of Timber Timbre’s career along with the brilliant studio finesse we have come to expect from them.
I found myself returning again and again to “Curtains!?” mostly upon the request of my 4-year-old. It seemed to send his imagination reeling with visions of bad guys on our tail, car crashes, and people hiding around corners. It is a quite a wonderfully mixed and mastered piece of music; less about approach and more about attack, resulting in a thumping Technicolor soundscape below the deeply creepy vocal.
