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.

""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."

The original version of "Curtains?!" appears on "Hot Dreams", the new Timber Timbre album, out now.

I am You - Dr. Refaat Alareer

…Look in the mirror:
The horror, the horror!
The butt of your M-16 on my cheekbone
The yellow patch it left
The bullet-shaped scar expanding
Like a swastika,
Snaking across my face,
The heartache flowing
Out of my eyes dripping
Out of my nostrils piercing
My ears flooding
The place.
Like it did to you
70 years ago
Or so.

I am just you.
I am your past haunting
Your present and your future.
I strive like you did.
I fight like you did.
I resist like you resisted
And for a moment,
I’d take your tenacity
As a model,
Were you not holding
The barrel of the gun
Between my bleeding
Eyes.

…The very same gun
The very same bullet
That had killed your Mom
And killed your Dad
Is being used,
Against me,
By you.

Mark this bullet and mark in your gun.
If you sniff it, it has your and my blood.
It has my present and your past.
It has my present.
It has your future.
That’s why we are twins,
Same life track
Same weapon
Same suffering
Same facial expressions drawn
On the face of the killer,
Same everything
Except that in your case
The victim has evolved, backward,
Into a victimizer.
I tell you.
I am you.
Except that I am not the you of now.

I do not hate you.
I want to help you stop hating
And killing me.
I tell you:
The noise of your machine gun
Renders you deaf
The smell of the powder
Beats that of my blood.
The sparks disfigure
My facial expressions.
Would you stop shooting?
For a moment?
Would you?

All you have to do
Is close your eyes
(Seeing these days
Blinds our hearts.)
Close your eyes, tightly
So that you can see
In your mind’s eye.
Then look into the mirror.
One. Two.
I am you.
I am your past.
And killing me,
You kill you.

I AM YOU

First single from the new Woods album, City Sun Eater In The River Of Light, out April 8, 2016.

WOODS
CITY SUN EATER IN THE RIVER OF LIGHT
LABEL: WOODSIST
CD / LP / CS / DL
Street Date: April 8, 2016

"Woods have always been experts at distilling life epiphanies into compact chunks of psychedelic folk that exists just outside of any sort of tangible time or place. Maybe those epiphanies were buried under cassette manipulation or drum-and-drone freakouts, or maybe they were cloaked in Jeremy Earl’s lilting falsetto, but over the course of an impressive eight albums, Woods refined and drilled down their sound into City Sun Eater in the River of Light, their ninth LP and second recorded in a proper studio. It’s a dense record of rippling guitar, lush horns, and seductive, bustling anxiety about the state of the world. It’s still the Woods you recognize, only now they’re dabbling in zonked out Ethiopian jazz, pulling influence from the low key simmer of Brown Rice, and tapping into the weird dichotomy of making a home in a claustrophobic city that feels full of possibility even as it closes in on you. City Sun Eater in the River of Light is concise, powerful, anxious—barreling headlong into an uncertain, constantly shifting new world." -Sam Hockley-Smith

A conversation (daao & Tony Donatelle)

Mainly, songs here are home demos. Check the album "Nocturnal Digressions" (Urgence Disk Records). Author composer interpreter, guitarist drummer, singer, devoting to music and art in general a passionate and passionate cult.
He began his career as a drummer in various formations of the late "Grunge" (Opium, In Between, Makiladora) and then devoted himself to the study of theater and dramaturgy, without counting any accidents of course, "Revealed by the taking of divine and prohibited substances and nectars, but more probably due to a certain amount of incomprehension and unhealthy incompatibility with the world around him" that will stop his practice of music without altering his passion , That their future songs are constructed intracerebrally.
It is after years of human wandering from institutions in hospitals, on both sides of the mirror, since his fascination with the human mind, behavior and mental failures will lead him to study and To work in Institution, that Vincent Dubuis exchanges his civil patronym for that of his artistic alter ego in 2010, and goes back to writing, guitar and composition.

He went on to become his first album as a composer-songwriter. "Mainly composed on guitar and pen"glais
