Timber Timbre have announced details of the release of a new single as well as a November London show at Union Chapel. ‘Creep On Creepin’ On’ will be released on the 20th June through Full Time Hobby.
Having recently played a sold-out show at London’s ICA, Timber Timbre return to the UK later this year to perform at the Union Chapel in London on 1st November 2011.
Tickets for the Union Chapel show are priced at £12.50 and will be available via www.livenation.co.uk
New single ‘Creep On Creepin’ On’ is the haunting title track from their recent album -which was released to critical acclaim in April 2011 – and will be available on digital download.

Featuring core members and multi instrumentalists Taylor Kirk, Mika Posen and Simon Trottier, the single was produced by Timber Timbre and engineered by Kees Dekker at The Treatment Room in Montreal inside a converted church studio with Grammy winner Mark Lawson as part of the album sessions.
Kirk began the writing of their most recent album two years previous with tracks further assembled during a residency in Sackville, New Brunswick in June of 2010.
The album also includes appearances by acclaimed pianist Mathieu Charbonneau and saxophonist Colin Stetson, both of whom Kirk credits with elevating the caliber of the album’s arrangements as well as its overall sound.

‘Creep On Creepin’ On’ marks a significant musical move forward from the band’s 2009 Polaris Music Prize long listed ‘Timber Timbre’. From guttural groans on lead track ‘Bad Ritual’ to the eerie doo-wop-inspired pleas of ‘Lonesome Hunter’, the album is textured and commanding, stirring proof of the unwavering powers of obsession and possession.
