Tindersticks were one of the most original and distinctive British acts of the '90s, standing apart from both the British indie scene and the rash of Brit-pop guitar combos that dominated the U.K. charts.
Where their contemporaries were often direct and to the point, Tindersticks were obtuse and leisurely, crafting dense, difficult songs layered with literary lyrics, intertwining melodies, mumbling vocals, and gently melancholy orchestrations.
Tindersticks were quiet for most of 1996, releasing the soundtrack to the Claire Denis film Nénette et Boni in the fall of the year.

  Tindersticks - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tindersticks is a rock band from Nottingham, England.
Their sound is characterised by a synthesis of orchestral backing, lounge jazz, and soul; the lush orchestrations of multi-instrumentalist Dickon Hinchliffe and the smoky baritone of lead vocalist Stuart Staples are the band's hallmarks.
Tindersticks have employed electric guitars, as most rock bands have done, but augment their instrumentation with a wide array of instruments: Rhodes piano, glockenspiel, vibraphone, violin, trumpet, trombone, clarinet, bassoon, Hammond organ, and many more are prominently utilised in the music of Tindersticks.

Aujourd'hui, Tindersticks reviennent avec "Waiting for the moon", un disque presque comme un retour au temps des débuts, et sur lequel, enfin, Stuart Staples renoue avec une attitude "crooner" qui fit la marque des premier jets.
Tindersticks n'éclaire pas grand chose, se contente d'entretenir le flou, mais les problèlmes persistent au fond, dans la dissonance ("4.48 psychosis") : les orchestrations minent la sérénité et glissent dans leurs enveloppes les mots de la mélancolie ("Sweet memory", "Waiting for the moon") et du malheur.
Tindersticks est sans doute revenu au principal avec ce nouvel album, un disque qu'on accueille les bras ouvers, comme s'il s'était promis de nous faire nous retrouver avec nous-mêmes.

 Tindersticks (1993 album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tindersticks is the self-titled debut album by chamber-pop band Tindersticks, released in 1993 (see 1993 in music).
The album was named "Album of the Year" by Melody Maker.
"The First Tindersticks Album draws inspiration from the playful narrative style of producer Lee Hazlewood (Duane Eddy, Nancy Sinatra), the Cinemascope orchestrations of John Barry and the twilight-zone claustrophobia of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds." -ROLLING STONE

Tindersticks should be regarded as a slowly maturing fine wine rather than a hastily downed bottle of Blue Nun.
The first disc focuses on Tindersticks' singles output and is a fine selection, although the first half of the album is noticeably stronger than the second, with the exception of "I Know That Loving," the majestic penultimate track with its fantastic glissando violins, punchy horns, and gospel backing vocals.
Tindersticks’ Waiting for the Moon is their sixth proper release and one thing is evident after one listen to the album.

Tindersticks не похожи ни на кого из своих британских современников.
Их первый альбом "Tindersticks" (1993) был назван журналом "Melody Maker" "альбомом года", большинство синглов получило премию "Single of the Weel", а концерт в Амстердаме в 1995 г., изданный впоследствии отдельной пластинкой, занял второе место в рейтинге лучших выступлений в Бенилюксе.

England's Tindersticks may not be the ideal band to invite to your next kegger, but it would be hard to imagine a finer convoy to guide you through those subdued moments of absinthe-accompanied repose.
Tindersticks (the first one) is nothing short of a revelation.
The arrangements of "El Diablo en el Ojo" (on which the classical musicians offer only subtle enhancements) and the first LP's "Drunk Tank" (utterly transformed by the stringed tempest) are enriched by the orchestral supplements, but they also retain their singularly intimate character, which is no mean feat.

 Tindersticks Album Reviews
Tindersticks (The First Album) (Bar/None ‘93) Rating: A+ This sextet conjures up images of smoky late nights soaked in booze (red wine, perhaps?) and disillusionment, as the band brings forth a uniquely stylish and moody sound that’s centered around the ultra deep baritone of Stuart Staples.
Tindersticks occupies a hazy late night niche that holds few if any contemporaries, and though other doomed romantics such as Leonard Cohen, Scott Walker, Lee Hazelwood, and Nick Cave come to mind, to my mind these guys blow away any and all competition when it comes to this type of music.
Tindersticks hasn’t sounded so dangerous in some time, but the gently loping melody of “Just A Dog” is almost upbeat (a first?), almost as if the band is intent on showing off the full range of their repertoire.

 Tindersticks: Waiting for the Moon - PopMatters Music Review
Tindersticks really are a creature of wonderful contradictions.
After the more pared-down, soulful sound of their past two releases, Tindersticks have reinvigorated their songwriting with some of their "old" sound, and the result straddles all that they have recorded in impressive fashion.
Tindersticks have been making ever more concise records; their early albums were something of a sprawl and would feature up to 20 songs.

England's Tindersticks are often compared to the American group Lambchop, as both feature elegant, elaborate orchestrations, a low-key, often gloomy sensibility, and a mumbly vocalist.
There is a lot to take in with a band like the tindersticks, to an untrained ear they are miserable and boring, to someone willing to listen their sound can be a magnificent myriad of emotive songwriting and luscious arrangements.
Tindersticks, bittersweet and brilliant, this is the album before the record company guys got to them, unpolished, uncompromising, angry...and incredibly beautiful.

 Tindersticks: Waiting for the Moon: Pitchfork Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
Tindersticks are still pretty heavily set in their soul phase elsewhere, as on "Trying to Find a Home" and Hinchliffe's gorgeous "Sweet Memory"; the way the songs sit on the album, you can just feel the group constructing them, letting the pieces fall together naturally.
The title track is a pensive music box of strings that gives Staples a perfect bed to shine on-- his vocals are probably one thing most likely to drive someone away from Tindersticks, but once you've acquired a taste for it, his deeply soulful gutter croon becomes a salve for all the worst emotions.
Waiting for the Moon is just what I needed from Tindersticks: an album that doesn't abandon their recent direction, but breathes new life into it by drawing breath from their noisier past.

 DVD Times - Tindersticks - Bareback
Tindersticks music is perfectly apt for the visual medium — the band contributing notable collaborative soundtracks that have added considerably to the mood of French director Claire Denis’ films Nénette et Boni and the dark and brooding Trouble Every Day.
Most recently Tindersticks key musician Dickon Hinchcliffe’s provided the perfect accompaniment for Denis’ magnificent anti-fairytale film Vendredi Soir, that captures the little sparkle of magic and romance that can occur between two ordinary people, while Stuart Staples has contributed to the soundtrack for Denis' latest film, The Intruder (L’Intrus).
The perfect Tindersticks video for the typical Tindersticks male/female ballad, this short film features the eternal Tindersticks couple (one working at a fairground, the other in a dogs' grooming salon) coping with the mundane aspects of life and relationships, while dreaming and longing unrealistically for something better and more glamorous.

By then Tindersticks had already proved there was substance behind the pose with the second Tindersticks, which was released in 1995.
The strangest track, given the band's general reticence and mistrust of fame, is the seven-and-a-half-minute "Ballad of Tindersticks," a "Story of Them"-style account of the pop-star life that reads like a hastily scrawled entry from Staples's diary.
The point, of course, is that Tindersticks aren't really interested in the world of "Ballad of Tindersticks." They're now ready to continue to keep their heads down, out of the glare of publicity.

Curtains was a last call of sorts: Tindersticks' next effort, 1999's wan Simple Pleasure, found the droll philosophes with a bad case of tourism, plunging earnestly into lockstep, sexless soul with pseudo-gospel strains and consistently comprehensible vocals.
Tindersticks' trajectory, in fact, does have its affinities with R.E.M.'s: an unfairly maligned Difficult Third Album clears the decks and the lead singer's nasal passages, and what's gone from the later work, however accomplished it may be, is that startling strangeness, the rare, eerie thrill of hearing something that sounds only like itself.
And as with Michael Stipe, Tindersticks' finest creative collaborations of late have been in the filmmaking arena: composing the scores for arthouse movies.

The Tindersticks deployed elegant quasi-orchestral arrangements, that relied mostly on the delicate polyphony of guitar, keyboards and violin, on Tindersticks (1993).
Tinderstick's soundtrack to Trouble Everyday (Connected, 2001), the band's second collaboration with French director Claire Denis, boasts one fantastic recreation of their original post-Tom Waits style, Trouble Every Day, but the rest is monotonous chamber muzak to accompany the film.
The Tindersticks are an easy-listening group that is ashamed of admitting it.

This second Tindersticks album is a lengthy exploration of many melancholy moods, lifted in places by exquisite orchestral arrangements and inspiring melodies.
Tindersticks II continues in the same vein mined by the first album: sadness, loneliness, confusion, and alienation abound.

 Tindersticks: Trouble Every Day - PopMatters Music Review
Instead, Tindersticks are once again content to tweak their signature blend of measured piano/string arrangements by fleshing them out with an eclectic assortment of harp, bongos, and menacing brass.
On those tracks that do not feature Staples, the classic Tindersticks elements are woven into a series of short, sparse and shadowy soundscapes that seem informed by the mystical minimalism of composers such as Henryk Gorecki or John Tavener in their use of slow, repetitive piano figures tolling beneath simple violin borne melodies.
Tindersticks create an elegant and unsettling collection of small mood pieces that stand miles apart from anything else you are likely to hear at the local multiplex.

 Tindersticks Review
Tindersticks seem both incapable of making that mass appeal record and afraid too at the same time.
firstly they could play, drawing on bastardized influences from tom waits to 70's disco and secondly tindersticks were a rare 'moving' group, that people would hold close to their hearts in a quiet, secretive fashion.
Tindersticks, like the band that made it, is a hugely redemptive listen.

 * Dusted Reviews - Tindersticks *
And though the Tindersticks, with a fine but brief discography behind them (including another score for director Denis), attempt to rekindle the flame of Last Tango in Paris, they neglect to include anything as sensuous as the latter NC-17 expatriate tale.
The timing on these pieces is impeccable, a testament to the Tinderstick's maturity and tact not to distract from Denis' film.
The Tindersticks' manage to do this act of servitude in a tasteful and classy style, but still lacking the cajones that would otherwise make it distinctly their own.

The fact that this album is just as good as their last two, which were superb, means this is a band on a roll and one worth paying attention to over the years to come.

 UTR - The Tindersticks
With influences that ranged from Scott Walker to Leonard Cohen, Britain’s The Tindersticks arrived on the scene in 1993 to a bombast of critical acclaim.
The Tindersticks music is very cinematic anyway, often sounding like the soundtrack to a rainy, drunk, lonely Parisian street at 2 in morning.
Funnily enough, when we spoke to lead singer Stuart Staples by phone back in the spring of 2001 in between the release of both those albums, he is recovering from a hangover.
