Tindersticks is the second album by the British alternative band Tindersticks, released in 1995. It is often referred to as The Second Tindersticks Album to distinguish it from the band’s first album, which was also called Tindersticks.

It builds upon their debut success, receiving widespread acclaim akin to its predecessor. Praised for its rich mood and atmospheric excellence, Tindersticks II stands as another shining achievement. It reached no. 13 in the UK Album Chart.

Critics hailed the album for refining the band’s approach with exquisite balance and more intricate arrangements.
AllMusic praised its ambitious yet refined nature, calling it an “awesome triumph of mood and atmosphere.”
Rolling Stone noted its beauty and brooding qualities, capturing its enduring appeal. NME highlighted the band’s ability to merge crashing orchestral elements with sparse acoustic frames, describing it as an immense, beguiling record that captivates with its otherworldly beauty.
Melody Maker praised the album’s marvellous detail, likening it to a lover—ravishing, complex, and both compassionate and merciless, encouraging listeners to embrace it for its allure and depth.
