7 Tinder Sticks Waiting for the Moon Beggars Banquet | 2003 | Album Biography Comments (0) Read Full Page Digg Review Add del.icio.us   The Tindersticks formed in Nottingham England in 1992.After quite a few cds-the boys still have it."Waiting for the moon" has an interesting late 60's feel to the music.Much of this has to do with the liberal use of strings and oohing/aahing background vocals.Kind of the Jimmy Webb approach to pop music.The vocals by Stuart Staples are both smoky and heartfelt.The band provides a subtle backing for the fine songs. "Until the morning comes" is a tender murder ballad.It's kind of a darker version of "By the time i get to Phoenix"-that old 60's song. "Say goodbye to the city" is kind of a brooding rocker that builds in it's intensity.Great organ work on that one."4.48 psychosis" has spoken vocals based on a play by Sarah Kane.The almost subliminal vocals fit the song very well."Sometimes is hurts" is a country/folk duet between Stuart Staples and French-Canadian vocalist Lhasa De Sala. They seem to be very much at ease with each other on this fine tune. "Waiting for the moon" is a fine addition to the Tindersticks catalog. Their music would appeal to fans of Nick Cave or maybe Arab Strap. This cd would make fine late night listening. J. Marsh Comments (0) Help Support Kevchino - Use these links to buy new music.
