- Crooked Timber is the tenth full-length album by the rock band Therapy?, and the first to be released on Demolition Records. It was released on 23 March 2009. The album was recorded from July to August 2008 at Blast Studios, Newcastle, with additional recording at The Beauchamp Building in London from August to September 2008. Produced by Andy Gill, the album features a bias towards rhythm rather than melody. According to Andy Cairns; "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) Andy explains: "The recording is about celebrating people's quirks, the things which make us unique. These days everyone tries to fit in, 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 reached number 197 in the UK Album charts. As of early May 2009 (6 weeks following its release), the album had sold 30,000 copies in Europe and was certified silver. The album was released on limited edition white 12" vinyl, CD and Download. On 19 July 2010 the album was re-released as a "Deluxe Gold Edition" digipak CD featuring two bonus tracks, two remixes and 4 alternate versions. On 10 June 2022 the album was once again re-released, this time as a 2CD "Extended Version" featuring the original album on disc 1 and a selection of previously released bonus tracks on disc 2. (en)
