Tindersticks – Curtains

As the third release in the Tindersticks discography, Curtains stands out as a highly acclaimed favourite among fans. Its captivating sound, rich song writing and velvety vocals have garnered widespread praise from various media outlets. Notably, Isabella Rossellini’s duet with Stuart Staples was a delightful surprise for the band’s steadily expanding fanbase at the time.

Diverging from the norms of Britpop/rock, the Tindersticks evolved into a band defying easy categorization. Following two albums that delved into profound darkness and lush orchestration, Curtains marked a shift towards a slightly brighter sonic landscape while skilfully retaining the cherished elements of their darker essence. This album deftly weaves humour, melancholy, and intimacy, exhibiting a depth that surpasses its predecessors.
