“Timbre Shore is the promising debut release of multi-talented Mitch Stevens. This entirely self-written, produced, performed, and recorded venture is a delight from a willful newcomer showcasing their evolution. Mitch’s Timbre Shore acts as a shining example of what an emerging artist can be, as a creative vision independently realized ‘the right way’. Sonically, Timbre Shore is a feast for the senses. Soulful and smooth folk roots are familiar and found immediately.  The tunes originate from the home of the heartland, relating reflective and effective outpourings courtesy of a clearly huge heart. Lush soundscapes are expertly and expressively arranged with care and emotion that benefit every listen. It’s an engaging, easy-on-the-ears journal of exploration- dynamic, rich, and full of tasteful space. Tactically placed pauses for thought are masterfully balanced, never distracting with indulgence or overproduction. It’s all too easy to overlook how every single aspect here is crafted in detailed depth from one singular, marvellous, musical mind. The listener is rewarded with a polished and professional delivery throughout. Timbre Shore is music unafraid to greet and meet you, prepared to declare and share the graceful interpretation of another on what true art means.

Timbre Shore lives up to the spirit of the name. By virtue of channelling authentic, organic connections, it subtly weaves those ancient and sacred realms of wood, water, others, and self. Challenging themes in their own right, they are earnestly addressed with honour and respect. Earthy and ethereal imagery such as mist, lakes, rivers, and dreams are all evoked as recurring natural motifs. I am gently reminded of that which is priceless, but often might hide in plain sight. This pensive style and subject matter resonates critically, too, possessing appeal that is timeless, universal, and accessible. Some similar inspirations in this regard include Hollow Coves, Axel Flovent, Novo Amor, and Michael Lane. Beyond the music itself, construction is underway for an entire quality brand with Timbre Shore. Right down to all visual elements, merchandise of custom design, and in-the-works community collaborations, everything comes together to complement a forward thinking, full-spectrum strategy. In practice is a holistic, savvy brilliance- the inverse of disposable commodity. It is a relevant and sustainable foundation, and platform from which to grow outward and upward.

Right down to all visual elements, merchandise of custom design, and in-the-works community collaborations, everything comes together to complement a forward thinking, full-spectrum strategy. In practice is a holistic, savvy brilliance- the inverse of disposable commodity. It is a relevant and sustainable foundation, and platform from which to grow outward and upward. Inevitably, facets of any creator’s persona are captured in their craft. 

Mitch’s character belies his limited years, here, facing heavy, deep, and still stuff. Openly asking classic questions, with a patient and levelheaded calm more frequently found in seasoned students of life. Timbre Shore is a present, given gratis, from an obviously gifted presence driven to create. Mitch’s prolific enthusiasm, unrelenting dedication, and sheer fearlessness shape this production and will likely endear anyone with active ears and soul. At the risk of hyperbole, Timbre Shore is a most impressive accomplishment. Beyond the music on the surface, it signifies a personal passion project. Full-spectrum in scope, and built to last. A beacon beaming with ‘what might be, or emerging model,’ becomes more clear to me. Embodied are some of the finest attributes of an authentic new generation. Mitch’s presence and work are graciously accepted for what they are: A generous gift of genuine hope for an old dog that, in fact, ‘The Kids Are Alright’. A signature project of merit from a young gun, congratulations are undeniably in order here. A release guaranteed to make waves in bigger ponds, paving a path for what else might follow. Therefore, let me tip my hat in recognition- as a converted follower and confidently confirmed fan. From first listen, it seemed safe to expect big things in store from and for Mitchell Stevens’ Timbre Shore. Accordingly, they will be followed on my part with equal interest and unconditional support throughout this adventure.”
