On Hot Dreams, the title single off Timber Timbre‘s third studio album for Arts & Crafts, Taylor Kirk and collaborator Simon Trottier daub vibrant color across the restless evolution of the band’s earthy, angular palette. Seductive guitars drape over languid synthesizers, animating an otherwise reticent Kirk singing in his singular low intonation. The consonance of Mika Posen’s strings mingle with vintage contributions from Olivier Fairfield on drums and Mathieu Charbonneau on keys. Guest Colin Stetson envelops the backing vocals of Romy Lightman (Tasseomancy, Austra) in timeless cycles of velvet saxophone.
