Official video for "Crooked Timber" from our same titled new album released on March 23rd 2009.
http://www.therapyquestionmark.co.uk/http://www.myspace.com/therapyquestionmarkWe may appear to have had a 'quiet' couple of years but have spent it wisely... re-grouping, re-focusing and re-energising. Of course there was the small matter of writing and recording album number 12 *. It's here folks, "Crooked Timber".
"Crooked Timber" focuses more on rhythm, rather than melody. While it is a heavy recording, it's not exactly the obvious path for us. Why?
Andy explains: "I guess we're always challenging just what makes us Therapy?. After so many years, if we were formulaic about it, we'd have gotten bored with the band long ago. The album was written together as a band, and each track has its own concept and inspirations. They took a while to write and we've taken our time to write them."
"From the crooked timber of humanity, no straight thing was ever made."
—Immanuel Kant (18th-century German philosopher)
"The recording is about celebrating people's quirks, the things which make us unique. These days everyone tries to fit it, instead of just being themselves. The songs examine what it means to be human—to realise that we are the only living things on the planet aware of our own deaths."
"Crooked Timber" is available throughout Europe from March 23rd 2009, other release dates to be announced. A limited edition 12" white vinyl is available from March 30th 2009.
