Tindersticks

Hailing from Nottingham, England, indie rock outfit Tindersticks was initially led by Stuart Staples, David Boulter and Dickson Hinchcliffe, and later expanded to include Neil Fraser, Mark Colwill and Al Macaulay. Formed in 1992 from the ashes of Asphalt Ribbons, they soon released their first single, "Patchwork", on their own label, Tippy Toe, followed a few months later by "A Marriage Made in Heaven" . Tindersticks followed this up with the Unwired EP, which convinced the This Way Up label to sign them. Tindersticks' debut album, soberly named Tindersticks, released in 1993, brought the band to the attention of critics and audiences alike. This was followed two years later by a new album, also entitled Tindersticks , which reached number thirteen in the UK charts. In 1996, the band began a fruitful collaboration with director Claire Denis, producing the soundtracks for her films Nénette et Boni (1996), Trouble Every Day (2001), 35 Rhums (2008), White Material (2010) and Les Salauds (2013). This hasn't slowed down the English band, who have been rapidly expanding their discography, releasing live albums and originals with regularity, from Curtains (37th in its home country) in 1997 to Distractions (15th in Germany and second in Portugal in 2021, the Tindersticks' thirteenth studio album), via Simple Pleasure (36th in 1999) and The Something Rain (59th in 2012). Silent for the past three years, the band is now putting the finishing touches to its fourteenth experimental pop album, Soft Tissue, led by the tracks "New World" and "Nancy".
