T.T a.k.a Kirk Taylor returns with a second collection of cosy mis-shapen pop recordings on Full Time Hobby. Anyone familiar with T.T will be aware of Taylor's rather strange take on a classic crooner vocal style. It's part Roy Orbison, part Richard Hawley fighting the power of a couple of strong valiums he consumed earlier in the day. 'Creep On, Creepin' On' has a real late night ballroom warmth to it's compositions. Chunky bass lines, subtle drums, tickled keyboards and occasional honkings of brass make up the foundations with Taylor's quirky vocal dominating the mix. Both dreamy and eerie in equal parts, these Canadian oddballs know how to craft engaging and heartfelt ballads without boring the listener half to death. Great stuff.

Canada’s Timber Timbre release the follow up to their 2010 self-titled debut on CD, download and limited edition (500 copies) heavyweight vinyl (including download sticker).
• There are three differently coloured versions of the CD artwork, which depicts an eerie, desolate pyramid.
• Recorded in a converted church studio, ‘Creep On Creepin’ On’ marks a musical move forward for the band as we hear denser textures and ever- changing collaborations. However, their trademark haunting sound, one that defies categorisation, is omnipresent throughout this obsessive and commanding album.
