(2-LP set) A
thrilling debut for one of the most original British bands of the '90s. A
romantic and elegant chamber pop masterpiece that mixes indie rock forms, the
maverick pop song craft of a Lee Hazlewood and/or Van Dyke Parks, and the
dark charm and hip romanticism of Ian Curtis, Scott Walker, and Leonard
Cohen. While in the UK it was named album of the year (1993) by Melody Maker,
in the USA Rolling Stone wrote: "the 1st Tindersticks album draws
inspiration from the playful narrative style of producer Lee Hazlewood, the
Cinemascope orchestrations of John Barry and the twilight-zone claustrophobia
of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds." Limited edition red vinyl in a gatefold
sleeve.
