Shervin Iainez Rose Cousins is not a new artist. The Charlottetown by way of Halifax artist has been releasing music for the better part of a decade and I've technically heard her before as she's guested on any number of Maritime-born records including Joel Plaskett's, but I'd not heard any of her own material until her third full-length album We Have Made A Spark , released at the end of February. And clearly that's been my loss. It's not a record that stops you in your [...]
Timber Timbre est un groupe de folk-rock canadien formé en 2005. Derrière ce nom se cache un trio : Taylor Kirk au chant, à la guitare et à la batterie, Simon Trottier à la lap steel guitar et à l’autoharpe et Mika Posen au violon. L’atmosphère habitée, presque hantée que nous propose le groupe canadien, sonne comme un voyage dans le temps, un aller direct pour les années 50. Les résonances psychédéliques et oniriques dont les mélodies sont empreintes, sont certainement dues au parcours de son leader. En effet, après [...]
Filed under: News , Exclusive , The Hit List Helen Sloan, TMN If you possess that same special sort of cruel humour as King Joffrey Baratheon and you're already well read on the George R.R. Martin fantasy series A Song Of Ice And Fire , the basis for HBO's hit show Game of Thrones , you've probably spent the last six months spoiling all your friends catching up on season one of the show by [...]
Tonight I'm going to a sold-out Timber Timbre concert and am looking forward to it. The concert is taking place at "Huset Magestæde" Copenhagen which is a relatively small venue, so maybe it will be a form of intimate concert. Just like we love it. See you there if you are going, if not enjoy [...]

Laura Marling By Sam Cleeve March 2, 2012 Laura Marling’s current UK tour is something of a victory-lap for the Reading-born folkie. Her latest album, A Creature I Don’t Know , was followed by last year’s When The Bell Tolls tour, a jaunt that took in the finest of this country’s cathedrals (and I would guess filled the lot of them to the rafters). Tonight, in Birmingham’s opulent Symphony Hall – a space perhaps more accustomed to the sounds [...]

Since selling out London shows at the ICA and Union Chapel, Canadian folk instrumentalists Timber Timbre have brought their ragged yet restrained blues-esque sound to ever-growing levels of musical beauty, developing a chillingly elegant, unwavering power over all who listen. They've been announced as tour support for the forhcoming Laura Marling UK dates, before embarking on their own headline shows around the world including a date at London's Assembly Hall. March 1 - Corn Exchange, Cambridge* 2 - [...]
Perhaps we should start by discussing a few time-honoured cliches, such as " you can't teach an old dog new tricks ", or " if at first you don't succeed ", or " a rose by any other name ", as this quartet from Denmark used to make up half of an older group, Le Fiasko . However, this new reformation has released a set of rather masterful tunes, making their previous incarnation seem something more akin to a prelude to the new, improved outfit. We don't have anything against their previous incarnation, but listen to this new set [...]

Timber Timbre - Black Water
2011 - irgendwie ein komisches Jahr. Zumindest musikalisch gesehen. Denn eigentlich müssten hier die Hundreds stehen, das wunderbare Berliner Elektropop-Duo, das mich diese zwölf Monate so verzaubert hat. Doch lediglich das europaweite Releasedatum des selbstbetitelten Debutalbums fällt in die vergangenen zwölf Monate – in Deutschland erschien “Hundreds” nämlich schon 2010. Schade. Auf der Suche nach weiteren feinen Nullelfer-Sachen, merke ich, dass so eine Bandfixierung eh nicht gut tut. Denn der Rest fällt etwas hinten runter. Außerdem interessant: Alte Helden wie die Bright Eyes und Death Cab For Cutie schaffen es mit ihren neuen Alben nicht in meine Bestenliste, lediglich bei [...]

This has been a truly awesome year for music both in the blogsphere and live entertainment world. The music industry has shifted so much that most artists with a sound sense of marketing and publicity can get their music exploited without help from major labels or corporate muscle. Below are 10 of my favorite albums this year which have all gotten great feedback through my shows on WVUM and through this here blog. There's a mix of well known artists and some lesser-knowns who really pushed their own albums to make sure we heard them. This was a tough list [...]
It was an OK year. Nothing more, nothing less. Timber Timbre and their album "Creep On Creepin' On" was without a doubt, the album I've listened to and seen performed live the most all year. Taylor Kirk's dark, swampy sound speaks to me. As for the rest of my top 5, these albums will be listened by yours truly for years [...]

01.Easter - Somethin' American This might be the first time such an unknown song by such an unknown band has ever been given top spot on any of my end of year lists, but they were absolutely brilliant live when they played up here in September, and this song is just fantastic, as are the other two songs on their Soundcloud page. It's less lo-fi than a lot of the DIY stuff I've listened to this year, and the squalling solos which tease Easter's songs to an end evoke loads of old school US indie music. This gives quite [...]
Et c’est parti pour le classement de mes trente disques préférés de l’année ! Pour chaque album, un lien vers un de mes articles ou un d’un collègue si je n’en ai pas parlé, une toute petite explication de la présence du disque dans le top en passant la souris sur la pochette et un titre en écoute dans le lecteur en bas de page. #30 Iron & Wine - Kiss Each Other Clean [...]
Here's the first installment of the Song, by Toad Festive Fifty for 2011 - a collection of the fifty songs I have been enjoying the most this year. The fifty themselves and the precise order can hardly be described as definitive of course, because you know how fluid things like 'favourite' songs can be, but roughly speaking this is the stuff I have been enjoying the most in 2011. Just as a note, in order to make it a broader representation of the bands I've liked the most, I have made it harder and harder for bands to [...]

Today, guest blogger Neil Haverty of Bruce Peninsula muses musically on an unforgettable 2011. (Norman Wong) 2011 was a big year for me. Half of it was the worst year of my life (I was sick for a lot of it) and [...]
