Portland, Oregon's Krist Krueger, Southerly has announced the release of a lush, layered new work titled Champion Of The Noisy Negativists on February 19th. The digital/CD/vinyl EP via the Self Group imprint follows the artist's celebrated 2007 album, Storyteller And The Gossip Columnist (Greyday Records). Unlike the previous disc, Champion is a largely instrumental affair, using vocals as additional layers, rather than the music's guide. Listen to the MP3 for "Trials" from Champion here and "Soldiers" from Storyteller here. To kick off the EP release, Southerly launches a tour throughout Europe with Kevin Devine & The Goddamn Band beginning February [...]

About two weeks ago, I included a Tindersticks song as part of my mix CD of quiet songs . The week before - while sitting around in a St Louis motel room (and in between listening to Fucked Up ) - I grew curious about the current goings-on of Tindersticks' former violin player and primary string arranger, Dickon Hinchliffe. This led me to his website , which is set up to showcase his work as a film composer and orchestral arranger. On the bottom left of the site is a music player [...]

Yesterday Carl posted a Tindersticks video. Also yesterday, Steve Earle won a Grammy for his album of Townes Van Zandt songs, simply titled Townes . My condolences go out to Neko Case whose Middle Cyclone album lost to Earle. Staying apropos, here's Tindersticks covering a compelling version of a Townes Van Zandt song. Tindersticks - Kathleen Townes died 13 years ago last month. On a more positive note, his birthday is coming up in March. Related posts: [...]

Jannica Honey It's probably over-pedantic to point out that by the time Frightened Rabbit's third album, the marvelously-titled The Winter Of Mixed Drinks , is released on March 9, there'll be only 12 days left in Winter. Certainly enough time for a a righteous bender or four with it as a soundtrack, but before you know it we'll be into a Springtime of body shots and that just doesn't sound quite as epically melancholic, though possibly more fun. Even so, the Scottish quintet will be doing their best [...]
Just this, because it makes me happy: Tindersticks - Black Smoke The album's already out in the European world, but American folks like me (well, not like me, as I was sent a review copy a while ago, not that I'm bragging or anything ) have to wait a little bit longer. Pre-order the album here - it'll make you happy. Related posts: Monday Morning Video Fun: The Mercifully Christmas-Free Edition [...]
Wow. That's all I can say about Tindersticks' latest album Falling Down A Mountain. From track one onward, there's never a dull moment in this album. It has a real rootsy, bluesy soul vibe to it, & Stuart Staples' vocals and lyrics are powerful & heartfelt. My favorites are "Keep You Beautiful", "Black Smoke", & [...]

Falling Down a Mountain, Tindersticks' eighth album, is the sound of a band rediscovering themselves. Its immediate predecessor, 2008's The Hungry Saw, felt an afterthought. That record ended a five-year hiatus during which it seemed – judging by singer Stuart Staples' budding solo career – that Tindersticks might have ground to a terminal halt. In and of itself, The Hungry Saw still sounds the

Tindersticks - "Peanuts (with Mary Margaret O'Hara)" The waves were so small. They were so small you could hardly feel them. As if it were July and we were at the lake, freshwater at our toes; but it was February and we were at the coast. The Pacific rested against the beach like a sheet of mottled glass. The breeze slept through my shirt like a woman's breath. This thought made me raise my face, made me look at you, and you laughed. Something in the salty air made you laugh. When it [...]

A friend of mine has been having a hard time lately getting to sleep. I first offered to help her by calling every night before bedtime and talking to her for awhile, as my affection-less monotone can put anyone to sleep within a couple minutes. After mutually deeming that to be a stupid idea, I went with my second option: a mix CD of quiet (but not boring) songs from my favorite bands. Here's what I came up with: 1) Micah P. Hinson - Seems Almost Impossible 2) Tindersticks - Until The [...]

Που να πάρει και να σηκώσει, κάθε φορά που μια αγαπημένη μπάντα από το παρελθόν εμφανίζει νέα κυκλοφορία περνάω το ίδιο υπαρξιακό. Tindersticks χωρίς τη φωνή του Staples είναι λιμάνι χωρίς πλοία. Staples μόνος, πάλι δε στέκει. Καλά κάνανε και ξαναβρέθηκαν μαζί μετά από πέντε χρόνια. Το Falling Down A Mountain είναι ακριβώς ότι περιμένεις από ένα δίσκο των Tindersticks και καλύτερο από το The Hungry Saw . Αλλά. Στην περίπτωση που κάποιος νεοφερμένος με ρωτήσει τι [...]

- Patrick Duff @ Tiki Club, 18 Οκτωβρίου 2009 Άλλη μια γλυκόπικρη συναυλία. Από αυτές που σχεδόν αποκλειστικά μπορεί να προσφέρει η Ελλάδα. Ο Patrick ήταν υποτιμημένος στα ντουζένια του, πόσο μάλλον τώρα που δεν βρίσκει εταιρεία να κυκλοφορήσει τον δεύτερό του δίσκο μετά το Luxury Problems που πήγε και βυθίστηκε αύτανδρο. Από τη μια αισθανόσουν θλίψη γιατί έβλεπες έναν 40άρη να προσπαθεί να πουλήσει τον δίσκο του, διαδικασία που περισσότερο ταιριάζει σε κάποιον με την μισή του ηλικία (και διαδικασία που φαινόταν ότι δεν την λάτρευε και ιδιαίτερα), εκνευριζόταν [...]

Photography by Tsuru TSURUFOTO on Etsy ! Vote for me (via lots of stars) here Baby & I took the day off to enjoy a wonderful 4 day "stay-cation" at home as we also have Dr. Martin Luther King Junior Boulevard Day off as well. I actually was able to, not only sleep soundly last night, but sleep IN, all the way to 8am (a rarity for me). Great way to start off a mini-vacay, eh? Well, being as that we are not in our [...]

Οι πρώτες ημέρες κάθε χρονιάς, με τη φημολογία για την επερχόμενη κυκλοφορία άλμπουμ αγαπημένων ονομάτων, τα πρώτα leaks, και τα πρώτα νέα ονόματα που περίμεναν υπομονετικά το ξεκίνημα της χρονιάς για να κάνουν κι αυτά το δικό τους ξεκίνημα, είναι από τις πολύ αγαπημένες μου, μουσικά τουλάχιστον. Ιδού λοιπόν είκοσι από τις κυκλοφορίες αυτές. Άντε να δούμε σε πόσα θα πέσουμε μέσα και φέτος.. [Κύριε Sufjan Stevens και κύριοι Radio Dept. , σας φοβήθηκε το μάτι μου οπότε φέτος δε σας αναφέρω] 1.

The Hungry Saw, was their first in five years. New album is "Falling Down A Mountain", 4AD release...

There's plenty of amazing music coming out in the next few months, but here are a few MP3s from some I'm most looking forward to. Tindersticks - Black Smoke (MP3) In February Tindersticks will release Falling Down a Mountain , their followup to 2008's The Hungry Saw . but if you're eager for a taste of the record now, the band is offering "Black Smoke" for free, which you can download above. If this is any indication of the quality of the upcoming album, this should be an early-year [...]
