Tindersticks

Tindersticks have made a career out of sidestepping convention. Now the indie ensemble that bestrode the millennium with its dark, majestic sound heads off in another direction, performing new album The Waiting Room to a backdrop of short films specially commissioned from international filmmakers.

Once again, Tindersticks are subverting convention: instead of writing the music to accompany existing films, the films have been made to accompany the new music. Tindersticks’ sound has always had a cinematic quality, with crooning vocals and intricate guitars conjuring up images and narratives; now the imagery takes shape on stage, exploding each song vividly into life.
