Apr 12, 2017The fact the “Born Under Punches”-esque freakout outro doesn’t rob the earlier minutes of their somber beauty is testament to the success of this particular sonic experiment. For that matter, it’s the main proof this new sound of theirs was not just a good move but a great one.

Q MagazineApr 12, 2017The gloom is unyielding, but so is the lightness of touch and few albums will encapsulate 2017 with such elan. [Jun 2017, p.112]

Apr 5, 2017Sincerely, Future Pollution still sounds distinctly like Timber Timbre, and stands up easily against their other albums.
-
Apr 5, 2017Balancing the political disquiet is a vein of romantic yearning, with Kirk’s plea in “Moment” for “desire deserving of something more” offers a fitting summary of the album as a whole.
-

Apr 24, 2017Despite its flashy sounds, it's one of the group's most insular sets of songs. Nevertheless, Kirk and company express how the past can poison the present and days yet to come in ways that are uniquely theirs.
-
Apr 13, 2017Sincerely, Future Pollution materializes a distinctly '80s coldness, with electric guitar pep-talks aside fuzzy, building synthetics.
-
Apr 7, 2017Sincerely, Future Pollution is Timber Timbre's most confident record. The lyrics remain obtuse, but even if it's not clear that Kirk knows what he wants to say, he surely knows how he wants it to sound.
-
UncutApr 3, 2017Kirk's fondness for gloomier realms prevails, especially in his noteworthy wordplay and on the ominously noisy title track. [May 2017, p.40]
-
Apr 3, 2017Sincerely, Future Pollution's contrast of bright synths with dark lyrics shows the band approaching their sound with refreshing irony. By filtering the seedier byproducts of our modern world through their gaudy yet gloomy lens, Timber Timbre reflects the hyperbole of an increasingly toxic culture.
-
Apr 3, 2017Sincerely, Future Pollution continues to raise the band’s crooked bar.
-
Apr 7, 2017Sincerely, Future Pollution is in some ways a perfect representation of our conflicted, uncertain times, but it also makes the record a challenging, uncompromising listen.
