Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Waiting for the Moon finds the Tindersticks sticking firmly to the path that first won them praise, and inevitable comparisons to Nick Cave, Lee Hazlewood and Leonard Cohen, back in 1993 following the release of their eponymously titled debut. For the past decade the Tindersticks have thrived on building bold romantic soundscapes around the themes of despair and heartbreak and Waiting for the Moon doesn't disappoint, or surprise. Following the brooding majesty of their soundtrack to the bloodthirsty art-house flick Trouble Every Day, South London's reliably morose troubadours have returned with another dose of aching lyrical desolation and sweeping string-led melodies. Waiting for the Moon's first line sets the tone with frontman Stuart Staples enunciating in his trademark baritone boom, "My hands around your throat, if I kill you now they will never know".

Breaking from the sublime string-led norm, "4.48 Psychosis" features lyrics from Sarah Kane's play of the same name while tumbling distorted guitars shamble along like those on Velvet Underground's "Heroin". Elsewhere French-Canadian singer Lhasa De Sala adds some Gallic flavour to "Sometimes It Hurts" while "Just a Dog" finds Staples howling at the night. With strings reliably swirling between themes of anxiety and elation, when it comes to dour balladry and candid Goth cabaret, the Tindersticks deliver in style and with disarming regularity. --Christopher Barrett

CD Description
Sixth album (not counting soundtracks) from Nottingham chamber pop miserablists and their second for Beggars Banquet following 2001's 'Can Our Love...'. Keeping the 70s soul soundof that album but featuring some of their most sorrowful songs since their debut, it includes 'Trying To Find A Home' from their 'Don't Even Go There' EP and a duet with Mexican-American chanteuse Lhasa de Sela.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dickon's dominance, 11 Jun 2003
By A Customer
I have been a Tindersticks-fan for many years. But after the splendid album "Simple Pleasures" and the rather disappointing "Can Our Love", I had the feeling their inspiration had run dry. Was I wrong!
This is definitely a good album, even though it does not have tracks that really stand out, except maybe "My Oblivion", which is currently my favourite track.
What struck me was the big influence of Dickon Hinchliffe on this album. His singing is much more prominent. He has written or co-written most of the lyrics.
Having listened to the album a number of times, I should say that it sounds more mellow, more romantic than most previous albums. Most tracks do not have that "dark edge" that would characterise Tindersticks' music in the past.
I dare say, it is an album to listen to while your watching the summer sun set in the West, with a glass of wine, and with an absent loved one on your mind who is due to return in the next couple of days. Melancholy and Romance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Music to make grown men cry, 5 Jun 2003
A beautiful return to form for the 'sticks here, after the comparatively disappointing previous album 'Can Our Love..', this is more closer to their 'Second Album' phase, an album which spouted some beautiful and diverse songs.

Stuart Staples' voice is indeed unique and unmistakeable, but it gives way on some tracks here to Dickon Hinchcliffe - a voice hidden for too long on previous albums.

Favourite tracks here : er, all of them - seriously! Not a bad one amongst them!

5.0 out of 5 stars A band on a roll, 11 Jun 2003
By A Customer
Tindersticks are an under-appreciated gem of a band. They take the warmth of 'real' soul music and cross it with the melancholy of alt-country, whilst maintaining a skewed good humour.

With this album they haven't changed in any great way, just refined the souful vision that started with 'Simple Pleasure' and taken it further. 'Waiting for the Moon' has a mainly ballad-led feel, with an increased input from Dickon Hinchcliffe (their violinist and string arranger), who turns-in some impressive songwriting and singing contributions.

It's slow, at times dark, but emotionally direct and true. Tracks like 'Until The Morning Comes' and 'Sweet Memory' have a purity that strikes home without melodrama. 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.

I had the pleasure last night to see the Tindersticks live, playing many tracks from their new album. The band quietly came out on stage to a waiting audiance. Read more
