1/2 PLAYS - CENTRE LOADING GF - BLACK INNERS - TOP COPY
TINDERSTICKSThe First Tindersticks Album
UK THIS WAY UP (518 306 1) FIRST PRESSING (October 1993) OF TINDERSTICKS' DARK AND BEAUTIFUL DOUBLE LP DEBUT
LOVELY COPY - SEEN JUST ONE OR TWO PLAYS AND SOUNDS GORGEOUS
A thrilling, revelatory debut, Tindersticks is a chamber pop masterpiece of romantic elegance and gutter debauchery.
Within the framework of a remarkably consistent and mesmerisingly dank atmosphere, the group covers a stunning amount of ground -- "Her" is a crashing flamenco number, "The Walt Blues" is a tipsy organ instrumental, and "Paco de Renaldo's Dream" is an impenetrable cinematic monologue punctuated by subdued guitars, pianos, and strings.
Stuart Staples' bacchanalian songs are obsessed with fluids, both bodily ("Blood," "Jism") and otherwise ("Nectar," "Whiskey and Water," "Raindrops"); no topic is too personal or too disturbing -- "Piano Song" is frightening in its callousness, while "City Sickness" is an unflinching examination of emotional and physical desperation.
Fascinatingly constructed and strikingly ambitious, Tindersticks is insidiously labyrinthine: the music speaks softly but carries tremendous weight, and its hold grows more and more unbreakable with each listen
