Timber Timbre on Breaking Bad


Breaking Bad's Season 3 is upon us and I, for one, am thrilled. It's hands down the best show on TV right now. It's both insanely dramatic, and excruciatingly sparse. The show features great acting by the likes of two-time Emmy winner Bryan Cranston, gorgeous cinematography and shot construction, and writing that sucks me in every time. Which brings us to music. Dave Porter's dusty and ominous score perfectly sets the tone for each episode of Breaking Bad, and the creators have shown great taste in selecting suitable, left-of-the-dial songs to subtley frame the unfolding drama. However, I was still taken aback to hear Timber Timbre's 'Magic Arrow' uninterrupted by dialogue, and almost in its entirety in last night's episode. Awesome.
