Timber Timbre - Hot Dreams ALBUM REVIEW

[@TheGreatEbayer]

I'm really enjoying this album, though I must say I have a hard time getting past the title track "Hot Dreams" because I just want to listen to it over and over...

[@SGlongboard]

I feel you that track is too damn good ugh Taylor Kirk's vocals and that fucking sax solo at the end GOTDAMN

[@gobillygook]

Sawyer Gaines I also like the way they did the solo live on CBC with a guitar, check it out if you haven't already

[@TAEYYO]

Oh man I'm digging the next track way more--Curtains!?--all about it.

[@Rubberfooted]

But when it kicks into Curtains you gotta shake it!

[@TheGreatEbayer]

@@Rubberfooted no kidding there, bud. I've actually come to love the Creep On album even more

[@grnstr10]

I love it when you love an album. Your energy is infectious.

[@theneedledrop]

YES! SO MANY SO GOOD PARTS OF THIS ALBUM!!!!!!

[@MrJoeBreezy]

I'm very glad you no longer have that hairstyle...

[@aphextwinpeaks13]

lol same

[@navigatingmadness180]

Every song off this record should have been on the True Detective soundtrack

[@theneedledrop]

GOOD IDEA!!!!

[@navigatingmadness180]

Thanks. I'll get in touch with HBO, tell Cal to scrub up, there may or may not be a part for him as a love interest in season 2...

[@Chillitz]

I think i have been mispronouncing Timber Timbre....all this time

[@HollowDolly]

Me too. I've been saying it like, "Tamber Tamber".. Basically, half-mispronouncing it lol

[@ethanielclyne5810]

It's tahm-bruh

Loving the new Timber Timbre record: Timber Timbre - Hot Dreams ALBUM REVIEW

[@glenjamieson2524]

Thanks Anthony, now I can't listen to Curtains!? with out thinking of My Sharona.

[@politicalsloth614]

You said David Lynch, I listened, and now I'm captivated. I have no idea how I could never have listened to Timber Timbre before.

[@TheOrlly]

i don't get the hair hate. i for one think his hair is very experimental, avant-garde, progressive, and forward thinking.

[@featherycoffee1401]

Nah man, it's just hippie trash

[@Obe-obie]

This is the most accurate review of this album. I can't stop listening to HOT DREAMS. Im not always great as communicating what this album means to me but you nailed it!

[@IanAannevik]

Sometimes I feel like I want to wait before listening to an album if it's one I think I'll really love, like this one. Like, I want summer break to arrive before I listen to it, so that I won't connect this album to stressful school times, you know? I'm doing the same with Mogwai's latest. Anyone else do this?

[@0satanisboring0]

often

[@godspeed-hv5sp]

This is why some recommend not listening to some music while going through a breakup

[@dumbidiot6112]

Still listening to this album today. The mood it creates really hits home. I think most people reminisce about past lovers and desires with an exaggerated lens, and if spoken out loud it can sound crazy or psychotic. The album is a hollow shout, I love it and I'm glad you did too.

[@tigerbalmks]

it's not that i'm incapable of forming my own opinions, but will we ever know the TRUTH about PLANNINGTOROCK?

[@jtkoons7794]

He made a second video right after it lol

[@mishtram]

Jt Koons Both of them were part of April Fools.

[@DeepFrigidWinter]

mishtram no im pretty sure he actually gave it a 0/10. have you heard it?

[@LicoriceLain]

Deep Frigid Winter No, both are joke reviews. The annotations themselves say so.

[@Electrohead92]

Seeing as though he gave both W and Tomorrow in a Year extremely negative reviews, it's safe to say that the 0/10 closer reflects his true feelings, even if it's an exaggeration.

[@TheHumorousDaze]

Wait did you think swinging gait was a physical swinging gate?

[@MrMoony1235]

It's taking a long time to grow on me, I love Hot Dreams but there isn't another track I can say I "love" yet, I just think some are better than others at this point...

[@Dan_Coffeeman97]

CunninLynguists - Strange Journey Volume Three!

[@almostlastplace]

Can you review Cloud Nothings-Hear and Nowhere Else? Please

[@theneedledrop]

considering it.

[@RustyXXKnife1]

Just listened to the song from the description and all I can say is "Wow!!!" Seriously I never would've listened to a song like this if it wasn't for your channel. THANK YOU!!!

[@MrODigga]

I was not ready for 4:39.

[@theneedledrop]

NO BODY WAS!

[@Videogamestwin]

i'd love to see you review the new Cunninlynguists album.

[@BlairCarlyle]

In the song Run From Me I always pictured the 'swinging gate' to be the way her legs looked when she runs, since that's someone's gate as well. It also makes the line a lot more sinister.

[@jordanfox840]

I'm kinda late on getting into TT but I'm loving every bit of it! Freaking get choked up at random moments on this album. I managed to go through the discography while driving through Tonto Nat'l forest and TT offers a PERFECT soundscape to a lonely southwest road trip. btw I always thought Taylor says "your swinging GAIT" (not gate) as in like the shape of his lover as she runs is "swinging"

[@Marinucas]

Hadn't heard of them before and it has become one of my favorite records of this year now. Thanks so much!

[@MxWolvie]

Thanks! I have been looking for someone to geek out to this group with!

[@Kurt_Games]

yes! i like the high frequency of reviews these days

[@GVideos09]

The birth of the yellow flannel

[@EthanMarkMusic]

Wow! Thanks for the recommendation! Such a beautiful, distinct sound they have.

[@theneedledrop]

GLAD YOU LIKE IT!!!!

[@marauderterzo6323]

Great review for a great record! I believe there's a significant Doors influence in it too. Also, cover art fits perfectly to the music attitude. ..Brian Eno & Karl Hyde's "Someday World"? Cheers

[@Zoibek]

I no longer watch these videos for the music reviews. I now watch this to watch your hair slowly develop each video. Your hair is soothing and attractive. I give it a light 10

[@jalenlee8912]

Thank you Anthony for showing me this awesome band. "Hot Dreams," hot damn, I cannot get enough of that song.

[@ChiannaNycole]

Really loving this, can't believe i've never came across them before.

[@paqui4318]

Saw Timber Timber live last Saturday. Best concert of 2014 thusfar!

[@aaronstrat12]

Met Taylor Kirk and co. in Atlanta a month ago, got my records of theirs signed by them. Very nice guys, hope they come back. Amazing performance.

[@WithASideOfFries]

This is one time where our tastes match. And boy is that gratifying.

[@WheresPoochie]

Please review the new Slasher Flicks record. I think that you're almost guaranteed to despise it.

[@oneminutefixed5003]

Wild Wild Country brought me back to this album, such a great noir ride

[@BTown787]

thought we had a 9 here for sure anthony. one of the most gripping and cinematic releases ive heard in the past couple years this is aoty and im bummed you weren't able to fully interrupt curtains because lyrically thats one of the strongest tracks on here.

[@theneedledrop]

i thought we would as well, bit i still just wasn't that blown away by the album as a whole, really. i think timber timbre makes cinematic songs, but the entire thing feels like a series of non-connected vignettes to me, really. i don't think the record has a strong arch to it.

[@BTown787]

theneedledrop late response but why do you think its so important for an album to find a balance between having songs that sound too uniform and songs that don't sound connected at all? do you think its the core quality that separates great albums from good albums?

[@Garbodium]

BBNG III.

[@arkhitekton1]

doesn't officially release for another month

[@Garbodium]

Well, whether or not that's the case, I've been listening to the album nonstop. Can't Leave the Night and Since You Asked Kindly are disgustingly good.

[@kathexinemae]

Ever think of reviewing a ducktails album? I'd love to hear your opinion on more chill wave/dream pop albums.

[@MisterScones]

To Be Kind by Swans may be the only album this year that I like more than this one. Soooooo good. "Beat the Drum Slowly," "Hot Dreams," "This Low Commotion," and "Run From Me" are my favorites.

[@Acquiex]

Loving this album, great review.

[@theneedledrop]

glad you're digging it!!!!!

[@sunepedersen8537]

Best Timber Timbre record so far?

[@acomp250]

You skipped 'em last time, so you should review Foxy Shazam's new album "Gonzo"! It's less Queen-worship this time around, so you might be able to get behind it. Not sure. And thanks for the tip to get into these guys. Digging the sample track a lot.

[@MoonchildMindaugas2]

I thought it sounded like an OST for a 60s-70s French overly-romanticized and -aestheric movie, maybe starring Serge Gainsburg. Separately the tracks are great, but as a whole album it felt monotonous.

[@0satanisboring0]

I think Taylor means "swinging gait" not swinging gate, which is just a poetic way of saying running fast.

[@pieroscaruffi7429]

I grant Fantano three wishes.

[@SlushTV]

Review the new Avey Tare's Slasher Flicks album

[@Timmyludwig]

I love the new Slasher Flicks album. My only real complaint at this time is the lack of harmonies from Deeradorian. She has such a beautiful voice, but she is rarely heard way out in the distance on some tracks.

[@morbidewe]

Timothy Ludwig definitely agree, more vocals from her would've vastly improved the record i feel

[@SlushTV]

I think the album would have benefited from more harmonies in general (and same goes for Centipede Hz actually). Animal Collective has some truly beautiful harmonies in their repertoire.

[@xiocron]

Oh boy, you really worked hard for that 50s pirate ship simile.

[@theneedledrop]

lol, i did, didn't i?

[@randhughes8240]

Were have I been for the last ten years or so? Why hasn't anyone told me that Rush has transformed into MarsVolta. My ears were delighted by the tasty sounds of re-created prog rock. What's your take on this band,Rush or Crush?

[@DYL151]

Holy damn did I enjoy this. Thanks again Anthony for suggesting something I otherwise wouldn't of known about

[@aaronstrat12]

Anthony, ever watch Hot Dreams' music video? Puts the song in a whole new light, I got shivers.

[@SCHAAAD]

Bring back the cheese slice hait

[@RyantheCanuckpirate]

the world demands it

[@stillill124]

perhaps the lyric about a "swinging gate" could also mean "swinging gait" as in running so fast that your legs are swinging about wildly.

[@Draculizard]

Sounds really good. I'll have to give it a listen.

[@tico1783]

lmao wtf is this haircut

[@YungJules001]

I’m still wondering

[@nsny25]

@@YungJules001 even now.

[@zacspearman]

I like that smidge is in the American English vocabulary too.

[@crewsboyette719]

theneedledrop I was wondering if you are going to review the new Cloud Nothings LP?

[@KingKalin1]

You should review Lil Bibby's "Free Crack" it came out last year but is a amazing mix tape! Lil Bibby is a aspiring rapper from Chicago already making connections and gaining publicity. You should check him out!

[@MrBentfilms]

always poignant, lucid and cognizant ! thanks Funtano ! Do Tin Wookie by Chester Watson or some Jolie Holland why don't ya - would love to hear what you think about her whole career.

[@JacketPr0ducti0ns]

Sounds like a really interesting album, definitely going to check it out.

[@Electrohead92]

I want to know if you loved the new Cloud Nothings as much as me. I've listened to it dozens of times already.

[@Geneeeeeeeeeee]

i like anothy blond , actually looks pretty good

[@combatresearch]

Not new, but can you review Daniel Romano? Maybe an artist review or just a good musical analysis of his style.

[@haysayer]

Soul erosion by blistered when it comes out!

[@wholeheartedsongs]

Can you do a track review of Avey Tare's new project, "slasher flicks"? It's called Little Fang. I miss your track reviews man....

[@thinkingplace4496]

He didn't do a review, but he talks about it on his website if you want to check it out. It's about the music video, techinically, but it still might be what you're looking for.

[@peter.8975]

What about the new Manchester Orchestra, "Cope"? What'd you think

[@JacketPr0ducti0ns]

Do I see the dwarf from twin peaks on the painting in the background?

[@theneedledrop]

no, but a twin peaks comparison to this album is very fitting.

[@JohnJohnerson]

Fantano where can I find that pepper and mustard flanel? I give it a strong 7-light 8 and would love to honor you by wearing my own

[@palbo4]

Where's the new Cloud Nothings review??

[@viltsuli585]

Great album, one of the best of 2014, maybe I should listen their earlier stuff too..

[@ossikater]

Where is the new Cloud Nothings album review?

[@tigerbalmks]

been waiting for this album and this review :) tyvm pantstony mantano

[@DecoyOctopus741]

Yo Anthony, you should review the new More Than Life record, "What's Left of Me"!! It drops on the 14th!

[@HowserMaeve]

You should review Sincerely, Future Pollution when it comes out on April 7th.

[@austinbelsky]

I was sold when the sax came in in the title track.

[@Barncore]

Can you review Karnivool's latest album, Asymmetry?

[@sjm1987]

new album is good but their best album is their self titled from 2009

[@diego-dias]

Have you considered reviewing Jucara Marcal's Encarnado?

[@neptune4794]

omfg i saw melon PRE melon, this is character development right here

[@SX3Ben]

Please, please review new Protomartyr record.

[@strawcastle]

You should do a review of the music mr. carmack has made so far. He's doing some really original stuff right now and not enough people know about him.

[@gargaro10]

Sincerely, Future Pollution hypeeeeee!

[@VinceverevecniV]

My father had a similar shirt. Working in agro food industry he wore it to visit pigstyes. TRUE. Nice shirt anyway.

[@akagranderojo]

you need to add a ".html" to that shoutout, the link is broken. The My Sharona is a deep pull but I think it thematically also matches a lot of the themes of this album.

[@davidadams2395]

I hope you keep your hair this way to spite all the naysayers. I happen to be one of the yeasayers.

[@StoneKongStudios]

In your opinion Anthony, does something have to be new to be good when an artist shoots for a specific sound or style from a past time period? I know there are some bands that are deemed "revivalist", but is nostalgia always a bad thing?

[@Haxek]

According to his review of Real Estate's Atlas, yes, it is apparently a bad thing. (not angry, just making an observation)

[@bulliemthembu5846]

But according to his Christian Mistress and Havok (Time's Up) review, nostalgia is a very good thing indeed :)

[@milesstevenson]

Could you review the new Teebs album? It's called ESTARA

[@LawrenceSixSix]

Shyne Coldchain Vol. 2 - Vince Staples!! *writhes hands*

[@bearwithit975]

New Linda Perhac album review when ?

[@erikkagge]

Todd Terje - It's album time

[@blobmarlis6180]

Honest question Anthony: how do you keep it all straight? On top of that how much research do you do before a review?

[@alexlips776]

How about The Notwist Close To The Glass

[@richtony2208]

for me the album is FUCKING AMAZING!!!

[@athena.banana]

Love if for the Elvis feel.

[@socoolio]

This is my favorite album of the year this far... The only track I'm not that keen on is Grand Canyon.

[@bobbingforanapple]

Can you review The Diners-Always Room? Forever?

[@DribblingManiac]

Idc, what anyone says. The hair is fantastic Fantano. I give it a light to decent "whogivesadamnaboutwhatyousayaboutmyniigashairdoheeatingandyounot." Music reviews. KZbin commenters. Forever.

[@joeafish]

Can you do Mozes And The Firstborn next ?

[@LfunkeyA]

great album. check out the new Nux Vomica.

[@Steph-ot2ej]

Swinging gate or swinging gait?

[@Flatworldfilms]

Its a damn fine album baybay

[@trevorjohnson7290]

I'm late to comment on this, but does anyone else get a SUPER strong Night Vale vibe from this album?
