Whenever Nottingham, England's Tindersticks make their way to North America, they've got a brand new place to stay. It's called Constellation, and it's the band's brand new label home in these parts.

Constellation will issue Tindersticks' recent The Hungry Saw LP-- out now in Europe on Beggars Banquet-- over here on CD and LP September 16. The CD will come packaged with some revised artwork printed on a cardstock gatefold sleeve, with a lyric booklet printed on "fine artstock recycled paper." The LP, meanwhile, arrives on 180 gram virgin vinyl and sports "multiple inserts." Ooh, fancy.

Tindersticks have a truckload of European tour dates to close out 2008.
