Tindersticks - The Waiting Room

Review by Marc Burrows

Their reality is beautifully complex»

Buy now from:

Tindersticks release their new album 'The Waiting Room,' a milestone not just numerically, but musically and creatively. Their first studio album since 2012's critically acclaimed 'The Something Rain' is the most ambitious, diverse and elaborate album you'll have heard from Tindersticks in recent years. 2 decades into their musical voyage Tindersticks, established masters of restraint and poetic human emotion, are a band now confidently making the best songs of their career. 'The Waiting Room' breathes gravity and features guest appearances by Jehnny Beth of Savages and a particularly poignant duet with long time friend of Stuart Staples, Lhasa De Sela. Not just an album but also an elaborate collaborative artistic project, each track is accompanied by a short film, each one a visual interpretation by it's own director. Christoph Girardet, Pierre Vinour, Claire Denis, Rosie Pedlow and Joe King, Gregorio Graziosi, Richard Dumas and Gabriel Sanna.
