Canadian outfit Timber Timbre are ready to follow-up up their 2014 Polaris nominated album Hot Dreams. Entitled Sincerely, Future Pollution, the new record will see the light of day on April 7th via City Slang and Arts & Crafts. Marked by last year’s unsettling events, Sincerely, Future Pollution “is the cinema of a dazzling dystopia, rattled by the science fiction of this bluntly nonfictional time”, as the press release describes. The band’s Taylor Kirk explains:

“2016 was a very difficult time to observe. I hate to admit that normally I express more sensitivity than concern politically, but I think the tone and result on the record is utter chaos and confusion. When we were recording, the premonition was that the events we saw unfolding were an elaborate hoax. But the mockery made of our power system spawned a lot of dark, dystopic thoughts and ideas. And then it all happened, while everyone was on Instagram. The sewers overflowed.”

The sombre ‘Sewer Blues’ serves as the first excellent taste of what Timber Timbre will be offering. The single comes with a video directed by Karl Lemieux, and you can watch it below.

In other related news, and in support of the album, Timber Timbre are crossing the Atlantic in early April for a UK/European tour, including a show at London’s Islington Assembly Hall on April 18th. Head over here to check all their stops and info.
