Tindersticks - Falling Down A Mountain

Released: 25/01/2010 4AD
Tindersticks isn’t the most familiar name in the indie world, but the band have established their own niche in smoky, late-night balladry. This is their second album following a five-year hiatus, during which singer Stuart Staples revived the group by changing the line-up.

The Independent“Familiar Nashville-on-Trent ground...” After all, a band who began by expressing twilight ennui have nowhere else to go. It's a sombre thing, but somehow warm with it...

MusicOMH“There's life in the old sticks yet...” Enough classic Tindersticks to keep die-hard fans more than happy; and enough new stuff to everyone else think twice about relegating them to the cabaret circuit...

Drowned In Sound“Falling Down A Mountain doesn't disappoint...” This record is evident proof that Stuart Staples' creative palette is as vibrant and uncompromising as it ever has been, and for that alone we're sincerely and eternally grateful...
