   About Timbreland Recordings
Photobucket

Timbreland Recordings is a Manchester based independent record label. Since 2005 we have released music from artists in the alt.country, acid folk, electronica and experimental jam band idioms.

***************************************************************************

RELEASES:

The Winter Journey : This Is The Sound Of The Winter Journey (As I Remember It)

TMBR012

Photobucket

The Winter Journey are Anthony Braithwaite and Suzy Mangion, a gentle duo out of place in Manchester, England who create gorgeous music in their drawing room as if it were only yesterday. Their album is a perfect eleven songs of vintage warmth and homely welcomes that could only be made from a collection of music recorded by hand on birthdays, Christmases and other days of rest. Musically we get drawn through their land of pastoral finger picked guitar, village hall harmonies, magical zither minimalism and even a touch of tap dancing. Lyrically we’re invited to a meeting of philosophical minds and personal metaphysical ruminations that inspire a deeper understanding of the world that we’ve perhaps forgotten. Anthony has written all of the songs and wears his influences with pride – McCartney melodies, Serge Gainsbourg, Elliot Smith ballads, Beach Boy harmonies, The Carter Family, even a little Krautrock – all with a friendly intelligence. He’s even been described as the Stephen Fry of folk music. Both Suzy and Anthony were previously in the band George who released albums on Pickled Egg Records gathering plaudits including Pitchfork’s Top 50 albums of 2003 and toured with A Hawk and A Hacksaw. Suzy releases records under her own name and has sung on records by Piano Magic, Arbol and Big Eyes Family Players. The first 500 copies are packaged in a hand made, hand stamped and numbered limited edition.

“delightful hidden treasures.....wonderfully tender fire side gems... a rich tapestry of classically drilled Brit folk” Losing Today

“gorgeous tapestries of rustic country folk music...... a group dripping with quaint romanticism, bookish sophistication and lots and lots of cool refinement...... warm-blanket intimacy” Manchester Evening News

Sally Murray: Battleground 4 Track mini-album

TMBR011

Photobucket

Recorded almost entirely on borrowed equipment in a south Manchester bedsit, Sally Murray’s debut release captures her startlingly original and ambitious approach to songwriting and is a thing of raw, strange beauty. The Nottingham – born singer’s effortlessly original songs are brought to life by her rich, low voice which is shot through with East Midlands grit and, on this recording, is multi-tracked and placed high in the mix, commanding the listener’s attention. As well as that voice there are bowed & detuned guitars, analogue synthesizers, lap steel, e-bow, drums and old 70’s home organs. While her music isn’t in thrall to any particular artist or genre, her work calls to mind artists such as Feist, PJ Harvey and Kim Deal – themselves highly original and innovative singers with a unique musical vision. Stylistically this mini-album takes in acapella township gospel, lo-fi indie grunge, sixties psychedelia and bare acoustic balladry.

soon to be avilible in the shops *************************************************************************** Dan Haywoods New Hawks : EP

TMBR010

Photobucket

Dan Haywood is an intrepid ornithologist, songwriter and country guitarist based in Lancashire. His expressive voice is genuinely idiosyncratic and his bold lyrics often namecheck his favourite fauna and are set in the windswept highlands. His band are the New Hawks and they have no bass player – but they do have guitars, drums, violin, cello, bongos, gongs and other instrumentation including the pedal steel guitar of ex-Nashville country cat GT Thwaite. The five tracks of this debut EP are part-ode to the wilds of Caithness and Sutherland and are one-part therapy, two-parts dementia that Dan himself describes as 'upland cathartidelia'. They are in fact the first five parts of a twenty-nine piece song-cycle simply called "New Hawks". While there are elements of folk rock, this is no laid back excursion into country life but an inconstant tempo of almost vaudevillian drama as the words draw us in and the volume swoops up, then down and then up again. As far as influences are concerned, Dan lists Neil Young, Silver Jews and Lou Reed but there is also a more raw, traditional and yet psychedelic element to the New Hawks sound.

'Very far out'.. (D.C. Berman, Silver Jews)

"this EP's secret weapon is the vernacular-infused voice of band leader Dan Haywood. It is Haywood's drenched delivery which ultimately carries the EP's five fleeting tracks." BoomKat

"Plain ol' new country-and-northern Anglo-Caithnesian song music (Seer Fanzeen)

'A class act.'- (Manchestermusic.co.uk)

'Darkened, but everso cute with it, rustic punk' (Vanity Project Fanzine).

A clay toad crossing a sponge. (Modelzone)

'Hebridean folk put through the cosmik mangler' (Throwaway Style)

'Cubist vernacular..... compulsive listening' (Howard Byrom's Soundcheck)

Corn Capri Meets Little Pebble : The Farm Sessions CD in handmade fabric sleeve

TMBR009

Photobucket

Recorded over two days in a crumbling Scottish farmhouse, "The Farm Sessions" is a collaboration between two musicians separated geographically but drinking from the same creative well as Harvest-era Neil Young, Bonnie Prince Billy, PG Six and M Ward. Corn Capri plays guitar with avant-garde British folk-rockers Starless & Bible Black in Manchester, whilst Little Pebble writes and records for the Fence Collective in Fife, as well as fronting anger-management fuzz-guitar garage rock duo Come In Tokyo.

"Six tracks of sad, glassy eyed, maybe even drunken musings, accompanied by gently strolling guitars and a myriad of carefully controlled atmospherics." (Manchesermusic)

PURCHASE NOW! £6.00 incl postage. international orders please contact



also availible from Piccadilly Records, Normans Records

Furthest Branches From The Trunk Compilation CD

TMBR008

Photobucket

16 track compilation of all the artists associated with the label in its first year. From shuffling country drone and post-folk to understated acoustic fumbling and sleepily endearing psychedelia, this collection represents a true snapshot of current musical endeavour aside from the mainstream independent music. Features: Nancy Elizabeth Cunliffe, Little Pebble, We Mythical Kings, Dan Haywood's New Hawks, Autopilot, and more.

"The real beauty in this disc is it’s scope and unrelentingly fresh attitude, it’s clear the guys behind Timbreland know exactly what they’re doing and I for one am going to keep a close eye on their progress. Recommended." (BoomKat)

PURCHASE NOW! £8.00 incl postage. international orders please contact



also availible from HMV, Play.com, Amazon UK, Piccadilly Records, Norman Records and BoomKat. See blog for links.

We Mythical Kings feat. Little Pebble : Deja Vu CD-R in handmade fabric sleeve

TMBR007

Photobucket

This four track EP is a roasted hash brown of almost there, yet not too perfect first takes and mayhemic improvisations around shady yet catchy songs. This time the duo have collaborated with Fence Collective folk singer extraordinaire Little Pepple, who brings his sweet, sweet tones and melodies to the bones of these tunes. He sings about drunks on buses, the elements and falling in love yet again - you'll rarely here a voice so honest. Guitars, organs, synths, dulcimers, accordions, banjos, blues harps, beat boxes and random percussion were all thrown down to 8 tracks in a couple of days, without really knowing where they were going and the tracks were mixed with a tank load of reverb just like in them olden days. Lightnin' Rod Jackson from Manchester's Keyboard Rebel also plays drums and horns on a couple of the tracks.

"the equivalent of The Doors re-interpreting “This Is The End” in Nashville with drug crazed hillbillies on the mixing desk" (Manchestermusic)

Starless & Bible Black : 4 track CD-R

TMBR003

Photobucket

A stark, emotive EP of gorgeously lyrical rainy day ballads. The band subsequently signed a five year deal with Locust Records in Chicago and released their debut album to critical acclaim in 2006.

"simply beautiful" (Piccadilly Records)

Nancy Elizabeth : The Wheel Turning King CD-R in handmade sleeve

TMBR002

Photobucket

Nancy is a 21 year-old singer and songwriter from Lancashire who has been writing and performing her music for several years now, often stunning audiences into silence with her unique voice and original songs. Think classic British folk - Sandy Denny, Jacqui McShee or Vashti Bunyan if you need a vocal reference - her range encompasses swooping melodies to pure piercing highs. The six tracks included on "The Wheel Turning King" were all recorded in an old Corinthian style church over two all night sessions and take influences from sources as diverse as European gypsy songs, choral music and North African music all performed in the warmest natural space imaginable. If you listen closely you can hear the sound of passing night traffic and birdsong that only enhance the untouched musical ambience.

"an EP of quite unique beauty" (BoomKat)

SOLD OUT & DELETED

***************************************************************************

The Motion : U, U & U

TMBR001

Photobucket

Like a lost Crosby, Stills And Nash album from 1971 re-recorded by the ghost of Elliott Smith, The Motion's "U, U & U" features 14 tracks of beautifully played acoustic guitars with touches of dulcimer, cello, and mandolin that together resonate against a wonderfully fluid rhythm section, creating a warm, other-worldly musical palette for the understated, almost hesitant vocals. Recorded in a village hall and a front room in West Didsbury (in Manchester) over three days, the album is the first release on fledgling psyche / folk label Timbreland Recordings.

"There is an undoubtedly solid air of John Martyn to The Motion Pictures’ sound and that’s no bad thing. Nick Drake’s less whimsical moments also act as a calling card, which is again a plus. Gently beguiling and stirringly emotional, the songs have an understated beauty that shines like a quivering candle at dawn." Chris Long (BBC)

SOLD OUT & DELETED

“Drawing comparisons to some of the greats from yesteryears Laurel Canyon folk/country scene like Neil Young and Gram Parsons, to contemporaries such as psyche folksters Espers and fellow Californians Vetiver, this album is a glinting piece of gold from America's west coast alt. Folk scene.
