Hungry Saw Poster
2008 album from the British outfit fronted by Stuart Staples. As always, Tindersticks take their signature sound and move it forward, never sounding stagnant or stale. Formed in 1991, this U.K. group exists in a dark, romantic netherworld where Scott Walker replaces Elvis as cultural pivot point. Their moody, string-laced arrangements frame frequently gloomy lyrical themes given voice by basso profundo Staples, a master of passionate understatement. 12 tracks including 'Yesterdays Tomorrows', 'The Flicker Of The Little Girl' and the first single 'The Hungry Saw'. "A SATISFYING MIX OF RICHNESS AND SPARSITY, VIBRANCY AND GLOOM. FLAWLESS." MOJO **** 4 STARS. "THE HUNGRY SAW IS AS DARK, MYSTERIOUS AND SEDUCTIVE AS EVER." Q MAG **** 4 STARS. Beggars.Five years after their last album, and 18 months since their seemingly final gig, who would have thought we'd be gifted with a new Tindersticks album at all, let alone one that stands out as their best since their first two albums? Their lineup may be depleted, but make no mistake--from the first haunting notes of "Introduction" to the last soulful moments of "The Turns We Took"--The Hungry Saw is as good as it gets. The traditional Tindersticks sound?part smoky heartbreak, part sinister minor-key noir malevolence--is present and correct, and far more focussed, resulting in an early contender for the best album of 2008. Hardcore fans may lament the missing elements, particularly departed violin/second vocalist/arranger Dickon Hinchliffe, but the strength of the tracks, and the sheer thrill of hearing Stuart Staples' sleepy Cohen-esque croon tackle such gems as the title track, the gently mournful "All the Love", or the sinister "Mother Dear" prove that the band are as good as they ever were. The key moment is "Boobar, Come Back to Me"--as affecting and epic as anything they've done, and a good sign that Tindersticks still have a fruitful few albums in them yet. --Thom Allott
