Tindersticks' Stuart A. Staples Goes Solo

While the future of England's Tindersticks remains uncertain, lead vocalist Stuart A. Staples has recorded his second solo album, Leaving Songs. Set for a June 6 release through Beggars Banquet, Leaving Songs was written over the last year and recorded at the Nashville studio of Lambchop's Mark Nevers, with Dave Boulter, Neil Fraser, Thomas Belhom, and Tindersticks collaborators Terry Edwards and Gina Foster all contributing to the album.

Among the record's 10 tracks are two duets, one with Maria McKee ("This Road Is Long") and one with Lhasa de Sela ("That Leaving Feeling"). Staples' 2005 solo debut, Lucky Dog Recordings '03-'04, which was never released in the U.S., will be included as a bonus disc with Leaving Songs.
