180g Audiophile Vinyl Double LP!
Expanded Edition Contains Original Album + 9 Bonus Tracks!
Tindersticks are an English alternative rock band led by the singer Stuart A. Staples. They recorded several albums which became popular years after their release. One of them is their third album, the slightly bright but still dark colored Curtains, originally released in 1997. The songs on the album develop themselves into intimate and destructive pearls. Stuart and Co created some melancholic melodies questioning privacy issues and the feelings of loss. The warmer tones can be found in the vocal parts and putting away some of the depressive moods from their first albums.
Tindersticks recorded eleven albums to date and recorded songs for which Stuart A. Staples wrote lyrics based on his own life and that of people surrounding him.
This expanded edition contains the 15 original album songs plus 9 bonus tracks with, among others, "Paco's Theme", "A Marriage Made In Heaven" (duet with Isabella Rossellini) and "Rented Rooms".
"Curtains finds Tindersticks exploring the same dark, string-drenched territory as their first two albums, and while it shares a surface similarity with its predecessors, there are subtle differences that make it a rewarding listen. The tone of Curtains is slightly brighter than that of the second album, with the songs unfolding into lush, affecting laments that recall Scott Walker at his finest. Though the sound is seductive, what is most impressive about Curtains is the songwriting. The Tindersticks have become more assured writers, letting the songs gradually develop into intimate epics. Stuart Staples' lyrics are similarly textured and subtle, with alternating layers of pathos and humor. Curtains, in many ways, functions as the culmination of what the Tindersticks set out to accomplish with their first two albums, and the results are appropriately stunning." - AllMusic
