deems taylor Kirk, the singer-songwriter slow the stria Timber quality, has died at 44.
"We ar devastated by the profound loss of Taylor and we will miss him immensely," the statement said. "Beloved son to Donna and David, brother to Caley and Emma, uncle to Arden, partner to Linda, nephew to Steve, Arlene, Randy, and Les. His memory will live on through his music that we are fortunate to have for the rest of our lives."
Kirk founded his folk-noir moniker Timber Timbre in 2005, and released debut album Medicinals in 2007. Timber Timbre's self-titled third album was longlisted for the 2009 Polaris Music Prize, and his next album, 2011's Creep on Creepin' On, was shortlisted for the prize.
Timber Timbre's music was also heavily placed in film and TV shows, including on Breaking Bad, Russian Doll and Sarah Polley's Stories We Tell.
"The band, led by Taylor Kirk — a crooner with a deceptively sweet voice — makes spare, evenly paced songs that sound like late-night echoes from a swampy woods," NPR Music said in its described Timber Timbre, when Kirk came in for a Tiny Desk performance.
"It's the kind of music you'd expect to hear in a David Lynch movie, or in HBO's deeply disturbing series True Detective: dark and unnerving, yet oddly seductive."
The Tiny Desk set includes songs Run From Me and Grand Canyon. Kirk's most recent Timber Timbre album was 2023's Lovage, which was his seventh album.
