Title:	Falling Down A Mountain
Label:	CONSTELLATION (CANADA)
Format:	CD
Price:	$16.00
Catalog #:	CST 065CD

"The new album by Tindersticks picks up where the band's wonderful return to form on The Hungry Saw (2008) left off. With founding members Stuart Staples (vocals, guitar), David Boutler (keys, vibes) and Neil Fraser (guitar) joined by longtime collaborator Terry Edwards (horns), recent recruit Dan McKinna (bass) and a cast of additional players, Tindersticks deliver a follow up album that brims with similar texture, swinging from exuberance to melancholy and back, with healthy tinges of 'Northern Soul' and Staples' inimitable deadpan voice anchoring the album throughout."

Title:	The Something Rain
Label:	CONSTELLATION (CANADA)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	CST 086CD

"The Something Rain brims and bristles with canny narrative thrust. Slinky, supple compositions are spiked with plenty of barbed edges and sparkling fizz. Right out the gate, album opener 'Chocolate' features David Boulter's sequel to the spoken-word classic 'My Sister' from Tindersticks' 1995 eponymous release. Boulter narrates the story while the band works up a brilliant, brewing crescendo, abetted by the swirling horns of long-time collaborator Terry Edwards. This is indeed a new Tindersticks classic -- edgier, more exuberant and more expansive -- that spurs The Something Rain into a song cycle of rolling, at times rollicking, and always inimitably Tinderstickian takes on smoky Northern Soul. Staples' home studio Le Chien Chanceux has figured prominently throughout the Tindersticks reunification period, but with The Something Rain, this space -- and Staples' ongoing immersion in recording and mixing techniques -- has fully emerged as ground zero for the band's sound. For the first time, Le Chien Chanceux studio serves as the location for the entirety of a Tindersticks album production, and Staples himself is solely credited with the recording and mixing. The album sounds terrific, and is a testament to Tindersticks' continuing reinvigoration."

Title:	Tindersticks (I)
Label:	PLAIN RECORDINGS
Format:	2LP
Price:	$25.00
Catalog #:	PLAIN 161LP

"A thrilling debut for one of the most original British bands of the '90s. A romantic and elegant chamber pop masterpiece that mixes indie rock forms, the maverick pop songcraft of a Lee Hazlewood and/or Van Dyke Parks, and the dark charm and hip romanticism of Ian Curtis, Scott Walker, and Leonard Cohen. While in the UK it was named album of the year (1993) by Melody Maker, in the USA Rolling Stone wrote: 'the 1st Tindersticks album draws inspiration from the playful narrative style of producer Lee Hazlewood, the Cinemascope orchestrations of John Barry and the twilight-zone claustrophobia of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.'" Gatefold sleeve; on 180 gram vinyl.
