Thank God for the Tindersticks! A band that you can honestly
say conform to no persons ideas but their own, and after reforming
a few years back have finally released an album that lives up
to their almost spiritual first. The Tindersticks have their
drive back, they still make beautiful music and no one can
deny their musical chops but there is an intensity to 'The
Something Rain' that hasn't been present in their previous few
outings. Stuart A. Staples is singing with the darkness in
his soul and i think the new band members have finally
understood what makes him tick! Few bands achieve the melancholic
dread that appears in this mini masterpiece, it kind of reminds
me of Nick Cave's Let Love In and that's a huge pat on the back.
What more can i say than to compare them to the great man's
seminal masterpiece... Sit back, turn it up loud, pour yourself
a nice red and be swept away in the joyous darkness that is the
Tindersticks returning to fine form.
