    Creep On Creepin’ On might have earned the title of the year thus far; they should also be in line for album of the year as well

  3. 8.0 |   Eye Weekly

    Timber Timbre is still odd, and oddly infectious
    Read Review

  4. 8.0 |   Q

    Oddly infectious

  6. 8.0 |   Uncut

    Truly terrific. Print edition only

  7. 7.0 |   The AU Review

    Timber Timbre is music for the graveyard on a full moon at midnight. It’s cold, it’s eerie, it’s disturbing. It’s beautiful... A beautiful nightmare!

  8. 7.0 |   Rave Magazine

    A rich tapestry of sounds centred on the restrained vocals of bandleader Taylor Kirk

  9. 7.0 |   AU Review

    Timber Timbre have made an album that is positively in love with music itself, albeit one that might be scared of its own shadow

  11. 7.0 |   NME

    [They] know how to carry out a quiet threat

  12. 7.0 |   Bowlegs

    An original and atmospheric album of creepy folk/blues horror
    Read Review

  13. 7.0 |   God Is In The TV

    If the church organ camp horror of Nosferatu et al sounds more your bag, Timber Timbre’s biting ’Creep On Creeping On’ is definitely worth the time
    Read Review

  14. 6.7 |   Pitchfork

    Stylish as Kirk's songs can be, they aren't always well suited by Creep On's contrasting patterns
    Read Review

  15. 6.0 |   The Digital Fix

    The whole thing is drenched in a yearning for a 50's that never existed. It's all a bit Twin Peaks, and the finer for it
    Read Review

  16. 6.0 |   Blurt

    Creeping pace and simple arrangements belie the wire-taught tension at the songs' core
    Read Review

  17. 6.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    Positively revels in its dearth of light and tumultuous doses of shade
    Read Review

  18. 6.0 |   PopMatters

    Kirk was always capable of sounding like a backwoods demon/preacher, but on Creep on Creepin’ On he sounds a lot less like a lone voice in the wilderness
    Read Review

  19. 5.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    Listening to the wide variety of sonic styles explored throughout the course of Creep On is impressive, as they attempt to cover so many genres, but Timber Timbre would be better served mastering one or two instead

  20. 5.0 |   The Observer

    Combining doo-wop, crepuscular blues and, on "Swamp Magic", woozy chamber pop

Latest Reviews

Dua Lipa  Radical Optimism

Talk of a new musical direction proves unfounded as the Grammy-winning singer’s third album shares more retro-inspired dance pop and lessons from her love life The Observer

Kamasi Washington  Fearless Movement

He doesn't merely juxtapose instruments and sounds, he painstakingly combines them, bringing joy, intensity, political, social, and spiritual poignancy in a vision at once focused, restless, and playful All Music

Camera Obscura  Look to the East, Look to the West

Look to the East, Look to the West could not have been an easy record for the band to make: the obvious emotion and care they have poured into it are a fitting, hopefully healing tribute to a fallen loved one and a heart-warming gift to a fan base who feared they may never hear music from them again All Music
