The folks over at The Ark of Music just reviewed "Timbre" and we're floored by their incredibly kind words!
Check out the full review here, and while you're over there, check out some of the other artists they've highlighted recently. There's a ton of great stuff!
Here's a bit of what they had to say.
"The track is perhaps most defined by the mournful and intricate violin riffs, flawlessly executed mandolin playing, ever-thumping upright bass, and hauntingly beautiful layers of harmonies. The song moves and grows without ever overreaching, and it builds the instrumentation right alongside the story being told. This is a truly quintessential modern folk song that never misses a note.
Speaking of the musical performances themselves, each member of this quartet is quite clearly undeniably talented in their own right. During the track’s slow build, each instrument is given its own moment to shine, and it serves as a great introduction to the band. That said, we have a soft spot for gifted violinists, and in this case, we’d go so far to say that it’s Laura Benson’s fiddle playing that takes this track from really good and makes it really great.
But we’re not finished, as Timbre is nothing but high notes – the songwriting here is another component not to be left undiscussed. The lyrics penned for this track are as poetic as they are descriptive, painting an illustrious picture that, when combined with the background of the track’s inspiration, creates quite the cinematic listening experience." -The Ark of Music
