Beautiful new track and video 'medicine @ Pitchfork. Love the absence of human presence in the video {bar the reflected}.

good track - they're really cranking out the material since they reunited.

been listening to the new album on Deezer. It is absolutely brilliant, best thing they've put out since they reformed, maybe their best since "Curtains" - the opening track "Chocolate" in particular...

Funny that, on first hearing 'Chocolate' I cringed and still do on repeated listens, especially on hearing the words '****, you're a chap' or 'I never was a breast man'. Just doesn't seem remotely like a Stuart Staples penned lyric. Liking the album also but for me their best album since they got back together was 'The Hungry Saw'. Would love to see them play live here again - their last gig at Vicar Street was wonderful.

Almost 20 years since their debut was released now. What a classic.

Yup. Remember Melody Maker making it their album of the year back then. Wonderful record.

well its not him narrating the story, and the song's credited to David Boulter on the album. Reminds me a bit of "Ballad of Tindersticks" which is one of the best things they've done.

I never said that he narrated the story. It just seems like a poor man's 'My Sister'.

Only album I have is their last one, but wouldn't mind picking up another one....must get the new one and another one?

Curtains was always my favourite album of theirs. It's almost perfect in my opinion.

First two albums are almost perfect. Can't go wrong.

Curtains is my favourite, but that might be because it's the first one I ever bought of theirs. Most other fans prefer the other two. Both are absolute gems. Haven't heard an album by them since Curtains that I've absolutely loved, although I did really like Simple Pleasures and Waiting For the Moon.

yeargh, decisions, decisions!!

I'd say get The Second Album and Simple Pleasure first. If you like those then get pretty much everything else.

I'm a huge Tindersticks fan. I havn't heard the new one yet bar the single, which is excellent. How would people here describe it compared to their other albums?

Reminds me more of Simple Pleasure and Can Our Love than any other record of theirs. Soulful. I'll always be a Tindersticks I and II guy though.

Same here. Thats when they were at their peak. TBH tho havent listened to that much of them since Simple Pleasure. Dont think its the original line-up now anyway.
