fran3000 Green Timbers is a deeply melancholic album. If hauntological balladeering is ever a thing, musicologists could point to this record as a perfect example. These "ballads" are full of pensive social commentary as the album often straddles the line between tragic suspense and dark romanticism within the same song. It presents the intricacies of false social economic hopes and the unsustainable mobility that comes from intergenerational trauma. These songs will stay w/you for days (in a good way).

invisibleplan A beautiful and haunting album that I keep coming back too... Can't seem to get it out of my head (in a good way!) Favorite track: 1001 Steps.

Letters From Mouse Wonderful album that uses a minimal sound palette expertly to weave a story about times long gone. I went for a long walk with this album as company. Absolutely nothing is out of place and the tunes kind of melt into each other to produce one of the most cohesive releases of the moment. it really does what it says on the tin and gets you thinking about the subject area. Highly recomended listening and I will be playing this on The Magic Window on madwaspradio.com

Kevin Haynes Beautiful and haunting compositions woven throughout like macrame macabre. Favorite track: Strange Family.

about

The name Green Timbers itself is banal yet strangely sinister, which is quite fitting for the namesake from which it is taken, a small urban park and lake near the centre of the city I grew up in. This album is an aural exploration of the local history, legend and lives of the community there and where they intersected in my own life. Founded by early pioneers that cut their way into the dense forests and bogs along the river, the settlements that would eventually become my family's home in the new world, were isolated on the edges of western civilization. People pushed into the lawless wet wilderness where disappearances and tragedies were commonplace. Life was rough and trauma has a way of rippling through time, over the years the settlement would grow in infamy as social problems wove themselves into the very fabric of the blue collar community. Despite sprawling, unprecedented growth during my childhood, it never really escaped its rural, wild roots, rather it integrated them. It is from this dichotomy and personal history that I drew inspiration for Green Timbers -

This is superb. It is almost like a guided meditation; I found myself slightly altered, emotionally and mentally, while listening. It really is beautiful. EQ-P
