THE MARY TIMONY BAND - KILLED BY THE TELEPHONE


ARTIST / BAND: THE MARY TIMONY BAND
SONG (MP3): KILLED BY THE TELEPHONE
ALBUM: The Shapes We Make
FILE UNDER: Indie / Rock / Other

LABEL: Kill Rock StarsINFO: Mary Timony’s latest solo project, The Golden Dove, lends a refreshing twist to traditional song structures, exploring sound and composition in her own inimitable style. Musically, Timony mixes up 60s psych folk, experimental electro grooves and lengthy prog-rock guitar jams. What results is music of melancholy beauty, sweetness tinged with darkness, conjuring images of middle earth, fairies, goblins and ghosts that lurk in every corner. Sparklehorse’s lauded frontman, Mark Linkous, contributes both on the production credits and as a guest musician. However, most of the music is performed by Mary herself, a virtuoso guitarist and self-styled icon.
