Videodrome Review
Interview with Tom
I Shop Therefore I Am
Are You A Prisoner To Technology?


With the release of Timber Timbre’s hit music video for the latest single Sewer Blues, we contacted Thomas Lawes for an interview - Exclusive to Cable Content.

Inspiration
As the frontman of Timber Timbre, Thomas had a lot to say about the inspiration for the video: "Really, a lot of the inspiration for this video came with the direction our music is going in right now. With the release of our latest album, Future Pollution, we've stepped away from the swamp-folk vibes of our previous works, and transitioned into the big city, this comes with a lot of synth inspired music. The album itself is more produced and essentially, we use similar ideas, just with a different skin. This time the skin we're masquerading in is industrialised - we're loving it."

Meaning - This really stood out to me, tell me more about it
Discussing some of the finer details of the latest content in the ever-evolving repertoire of videos by this up-and-coming band, there was one scene I really had to enquire into. "As is quite unanimous with viewers, the scene with you falling back into the void was really a stand out scene from the video, could you tell us more about it?" With a slight smirk, Thomas looked as if he already had an answer pre-disposed. "I have to agree with you in regards to the scene being a stand out, while we were brainstorming for the video, we all fell in love with the idea of having smoke in the video, it really encapsulated the look we were going for, the idea of just falling into the abyss of smoke really struck a good chord with us. In short, we felt like it represented the ideals of letting go and just giving into your primal instincts, something that's really rife across the entire video."

What's your favourite scene in the video?
Even though we have our own favourite scene at Cable Content, we were dying to know what the frontman and creative visionary behind the video considered their own favourite: "Without a doubt, my favourite scene has to be the one with the spiral in the background. My visage is blacked out like silhouette, and in the back is just this mesmerising, spinning pattern. I think that for a second, it really draws you away from the video. It has a phantasmagorical sensation to it, something we really desired to include at some point, it harkens back to the old days of theatrical effects, which included a lot of projections. That style is really up our alley. We couldn't not include it!"

What can we expect from the future of timber timbre?
As entrancing as the video is, we had to know what was in store for us viewers in the future: "Oh you can expect a lot from us in the coming months, even though Future Pollution has just released, we are already working on new content. We've been experimenting with a lot of new instruments, and while we can't detail exactly what we've got coming your way, there's a magnitude of curiosities that we want to release. Expect a lot of howling voodoo inspired beats."

What's your creative process? As a frontman?
