Tindersticks Feeling Hungry on New Album, Tour
Hunger manifests itself in plaintive, heartfelt balladry
Tindersticks! Okay, so they don't quite lend themselves to exclamations the way Guillemots do, but that doesn't mean we're any less stoked about their new record.
The Hungry Saw arrives April 28 overseas in CD/vinyl/digital formats on Beggars Banquet and marks the first album of new material by the full band since 2003's lush and lovely Waiting for the Moon. A 7"/digital single for the title track, backed with a tune called "Back to the Earth", precedes the album on April 14.
And actually we can't say "full band" without qualifying it a bit, as the reduced Tindersticks lineup featured on Saw includes core members Stuart A. Staples, Neil Fraser, and David Boulter, with additional help from drummer Thomas Belhorn and bassist Dan McKinna. Frontman Staples, as you may recall, released the solo album Leaving Songs back in 2006.
Your first taste of The Hungry Saw, a lush and lovely tune called "The Flicker of a Little Girl" featured on Forkcast, is available right now for your listening and downloading pleasure at the Tindersticks MySpace.
And what's an album and a single without a tour? Tindersticks have one of those in the works, kicking off April 29 in Copenhagen.
