Tindersticks

The English rock band Tindersticks formed in Nottingham in 1991. Vocalist Stuart Staples, violinist Dickon Hinchliffe, keyboardist David Boulter, guitarist Neil Fraser, and drummer Al Macaulay had all performed together with another Nottingham-based group, Asphalt Ribbons, before launching Tindersticks with bassist Mark Colwill. The band's self-titled debut album was released in 1993 and became a critical favorite. A second self-titled record appeared in 1995 and became informally known as "Second Album," reaching Number 13 in the UK charts. Curtains followed in 1997 and charted at Number 37. Although Stuart Staples launched a concurrent solo career following the band's sixth release, Waiting for the Moon, in 2003, Tindersticks maintained its prolific output well into the following century, releasing a steady stream of studio records and live albums. The group also composed soundtracks for seven films, all of which were directed by French cinematographer Claire Denis. Popular throughout Europe, Tindersticks cracked the Top 10 in Portugal for the first time with 2019's No Treasure But Hope, then returned in 2021 with Distractions.
