Album Summary

Tindersticks is the second album by the British alternative band Tindersticks, released in 1995. It is often referred to as The Second Tindersticks Album to distinguish it from the band's first album, which was also called Tindersticks. It reached no. 13 in the UK Albums Chart. On 17 September 2006, the album was performed live in its entirety at the Barbican Centre in London, as part of the All Tomorrow's Parties-curated Don't Look Back series. The concert was the last time the original six members of Tindersticks played together. The album's artwork features black and white photographs of the band being fitted for suits at Timothy Everest's atelier in London; the front cover shows guitarist Neil Fraser. The band's keyboard and accordion player David Boulter recalled in 2003 that "we'd always worn very ill-fitting second-hand suits, shirts, whatever, and, as a treat for our hard work, we arranged to have a tailor-made suit each. I could never be seen without my Timothy Everest suit for a long time after. Phil Nicholls took photos of the fitting, which became the sleeve."

Never heard of Tindersticks before… but I feel like I heard this lead singer’s distinctive voice somewhere before. Couldn’t figure it out, but I think there is another album that reminds me of this sound on the list. Regardless, this is a beautiful album. Love the orchestration, the vocals, the songs - this was a great soundtrack for my evening. The duet “Traveling Light” was really nice… then you get the partially-spoken-word Cherry Blossoms with that sparse piano plinking out a melody. It all hit me just right. Really love this!

I ended up really liking this after it didn't make a great initial impression of me. More moody and atmospheric than I was expecting. Enjoyed it for sure.
