Falling Down The Mountain

Falling Down A Mountain, the new album by Tindersticks, picks up where the band's wonderful return to form on The Hungry Saw (2008) left off. With founding members Stuart Staples (vocals, guitar), David Boutler (keys, vibes) and Neil Fraser (guitar) joined by longtime collaborator Terry Edwards (horns), recent recruit Dan McKinna (bass) and a cast of additional players, Tindersticks deliver a follow up album that brims with similar texture, swinging from exuberance to melancholy and back, with healthy tinges of 'Northern Soul' and Staples' inimitable deadpan voice anchoring the album throughout. A fine addition to the Tindersticks canon!
