Tindersticks - Both Sides of the Blade

	Vol.XIV Ep.022 Wikipedia Lyrics
Info: Tindersticks are a rock band from Nottingham, England. Tindersticks line-up was: Stuart Staples (vocals) Dave Boulter (organ and accordion) Neil Fraser (guitar) Dickon Hinchliffe (guitar and strings) Al Macauley (percussion and drums) Mark Colwill (bass). The name Tindersticks was chosen by Staples after he discovered a box of German matches on a Greek beach. Tindersticks started recording demo tapes in 1992 and released their first single, "Patchwork", in the same year. Their self-titled first and second albums established their signature sound and received widespread critical acclaim. By the time of the third album, Curtains, it was clear that a change of direction was called for. The fourth album, Simple Pleasure, lived up to its title with a series of snappy, direct songs influenced by soul music. The female backing vocals on several tracks, signalled the band's wish to move towards lighter, more soulful material. The fifth album, Can Our Love..., continued that direction. The sixth album, Waiting for the Moon, was more stripped down and introspective in nature. In 2005 Staples embarked on a solo career and he has so far produced two solo albums, Lucky Dog Recordings 03-04 and Leaving Songs. In 2007, a stripped-down line-up of three, Staples, Boulter, Fraser and new members Thomas Belhom on drums, Dan McKinna on bass and Ian Caple engineering, released The Hungry Saw in April 2008. In 2010, the eighth album Falling Down a Mountain was released with a changed band line-up, with Earl Harvin replacing Belhom on drums and David Kitt, a solo artist in his own right, joining the band on guitar and vocals. Afterwards five have been released throughout the years: The Something Rain (2012), Across Six Leap Years (2013), The Waiting Room (2016), No Treasure But Hope (2019) and Distractions (2021).
