Timber Timbre shares an alternate version of "Curtains?!" from 'Hot Dreams', featuring the haunting vocals of Fiver, solo project of Toronto singer-songwriter Simone Schmidt, also known for fronting The Highest Order. Timber Timbre offers some insight on the gestation of "Curtains?!", which Schmidt co-wrote with the band, ahead of Fiver's supporting slot on the upcoming Timber Timbre US tour. Details below.

""Curtains?!" is nearest to a rock song that the band has ever recorded up to date. When we were creating the bed tracks, we thought we were doing something in the world of German kraut rock band Can, but Graham Lessard, our sound engineer, made the reference to Lalo Schifrin's soundtrack for Dirty Harry. Simone Schmidt of Fiver composed the lyrics about a man's fallen career and his double life exposed."

Whereas last time around, they were all about "vocal harmonies from NYC to Cape Town" and "massive guitars from Portland to Düsseldorf, mixed with clattering beats from Berlin to Detroit" Aloa Input – a Munich-based three-piece that seems to be just as addicted to new input as it's quick and productive when it comes to releasing more genre-smashing, ebullient output – are about to leave planet earth altogether with their sophomore release: Dropping only a year after the band's debut album "Anysome" (with additional remix EP "RMX" released in-between), they return with an album that finds them dashing through the better part of recent music history, to eventually take off for the Red Planet: "MARS ETC." is terrestrial life condensed, an experimental study in hands-on, sonic set theory, both a stunningly wild and unbridled beast of an album and a long-overdue update to 1977's Voyager Golden Records.

Autumn Leaves" is the English-language lyrical adaptation of the French song "Les Feuilles mortes" ("The Dead Leaves") composed by Joseph Kosma in 1945. The original lyrics were written by Jacques Prévert in French, and in 1950 Johnny Mercer wrote the English lyrics. An instrumental recording by pianist Roger Williams was a number one best-seller in the US Billboard charts of 1955.
