Biography

English band formed in 1991 out of [a275920] (formed in 1988) by [a=Stuart A. Staples] (vocals), [a=David Boulter] (organ & accordion), [a=Neil Fraser (2)] (guitar), [a=Dickon Hinchliffe] (guitar & strings) [a=Al Macaulay] (percussion & drums) and John Thompson (bass), who was replaced by [a=Mark Colwill] before their first recordings. They recorded six studio albums, two additional soundtrack albums, and many singles in the first stage of their career. After a hiatus between 2004 and 2008, the band's line-up was reduced down to Staples, Boulter and Fraser, with a rhythm section of [a=Earl Harvin] (drums) and [a=Dan McKinna] (bass) (and intermittent appearances by [a215721] and [a83515]). Their second act now eclipses their first line-up in terms of volume of output (if not commercial success). Tindersticks were one of the most original and distinctive British acts of the '90s, standing apart from both the British indie scene and the rash of Brit-pop guitar combos that dominated the U.K. charts. Where their contemporaries were often direct and to the point, Tindersticks were obtuse and leisurely, crafting dense, difficult songs layered with literary lyrics, intertwining melodies, mumbling vocals, and gently melancholy orchestrations. At the start of their career, the group filtered the dark romanticism of Leonard Cohen, Ian Curtis, and Scott Walker through the bizarre pop songcraft of Lee Hazlewood and the aesthetics of indie rock. Later recordings have been marked by the influence of soul music, and their excursions into instrumental soundtrack work (primarily working for director Claire Denis). Though their music was far from casual listening, Tindersticks gained a dedicated cult following in the mid-'90s, beginning with their eponymous 1993 debut album, and continue to release music to a dedicated fanbase.

LYRICS

Talk to me darling
Before you throw it away
Look into these eyes now
Look into these eyes
If it's too far to fall
It still makes you cry
You can't kill this love no,
You can't kill this love
You feel the rush in your arm
You see shadows form
You move forward slowly
To find nothing at all

In a hall of mirrors
You get sick of yourself
Think you can just leave the blade there
Sit and wait...
Chorus 2x:
I know it's scary darling
It comes back from the dead
Climbs on out of the ground
Back into our bed
So talk to me darling
Before you throw it away
Look into these eyes now
Look into these eyes
If it's too far to fall
If it still makes you cry
You can't kill this love no,
You can't kill this love
Chorus
