 For some inexplicable reason, the music of Taylor Kirk, who writes and plays his songs under the moniker Timber Timbre, brings to mind a world like black and white photographs, ramshackle cabins in the far north, plains blanketed with thin layers of snow through which long brown weeds stand waving in the wind, the undulating and otherworldly reds and greens and purples of the aurora borealis during cold January nights in northern Alaska, and long stretches of rural highway in the middle of winter. In a way, it also brings to mind the strange and seemingly neverending Pine Barrens of New Jersey, the hazy southern twilights of Alabama, the rocky slopes and scatterings of trees of the Adirondack Mountains, and nameless pubs with sawdust-covered floors and taxidermy decors. Nighttime campfires in the desert wastelands of the dusty West, badly kept clapboard shacks surrounded by thick-rooted trees overtaken by Spanish moss in the sweaty backwoods of Louisiana, large dry-rotted barns and seemingly endless acres of verdant farmland in the Pennsylvania countryside, and gothic style churches with gray stone walls and pointed steeples upon which black-feathered birds perch through autumn. And finally, most of all, it brings to mind an old freight train thundering at half speed down the rusty rails and splintered ties of even older tracks, while night itself shivers with the cold, while a pale, anorexic moon hangs at the rootops of a far off cityscape on the apocalyptic horizon, and while a single shooting star falls to the ground without granting a single wish.
