Bandcamp corner:

In memoriam Taylor Kirk
Sad news last week on the passing of Taylor Kirk, the voice and mind behind folk-noir project Timber Timbre, at the age of 44. I never met him in person, but back when this blog was in its younger days, he was a real-life example of how someone might suddenly break out of the local "family" (in this case, the Out of This Spark scene) into wider prominence. From doomy-sad solo strumming to absolutely ripping group groovers, he put together a fine songbook. I'm glad to have a couple different versions of his malleable band in the archive. (Though as someone who seemed to prefer to play in as dark an environment as possible, sadly I don't have any good pictures.)

Timber Timbre - Trouble Comes Knockin'
- ...on January 29, 2011 at The Music Gallery (The C is For Cure Benefit).
