The Hungry SawRating:10/10
This is not another band with "s". Once you discovered them, you play their music during long time. Romanticism is the greatest gift God gave to you. Some thinks that he or she isn't romantic, because it didn't being discovered yet. You maybe need to feel "spark!!" or just read someone else's stories. Watch some movie like Woody Allen's Manhattan, Casablanca or two romantic masterpiece of Richard Linklater Before Sunset, Before Sunrise...and listen Tindersticks' records. I shouldn't say which album is the recommended one, because there is always some stardust on their all songs. Tindersticks were one of the most original and distinctive British acts of the '90s,no they weren't playing Madchester or Britpop...They're quite different both original and bizarre.Their music waits for the right time to get you completely with melancholy.
The Hungry Saw summarizes what happens if a band tries hard writing a wholly record . The new album carries all Staples love within all lyrics and vocals. In 2007, a stripped-down line-up of three of the original band, Staples, Boulter and Fraser, spent time writing and recording in a newly equipped studio in Limousin, France. They were joined by Thomas Belhom on drums and Dan McKinna on bass, with Ian Caple engineering. This record is more striking than any Tindersticks album, something more white or less toneless. The results is another unique Tindersticks job. All The Love, Yesterday Tomorrows are brilliant keytracks with no doubt, moreover magical and soundtrack-like Feel The Sun is the best new love ballad. Upbeat and rocker cut "E Type" delivers joyful, wonderful moments. And for music lovers, Nottingham based critically acclaimed band again reaches to gold status. A modern classic.
MM picks: Yesterday Tomorrows, Feel The Sun, E Type, The Other Side Of The World, Boobar

They were not a British act. This band is from Australia!
wrong again, mister anonymous.
good album.
sure they're British.
Before Sunset and Before Sunrise are NOT movies by Sofia Coppola. IMDB is your friend.
thanks corrected . i think Lost in translation and virgin suicides was on my mind:)
I LOVE Tindersticks' music, especially their 3 first albums though.. I don't like when a frontman domines the piucture and the music, I hope the last album would be a good addition to their music. I'm sorry that 3 musicans dropped out... what I like about Tindersticks -before their vocals or lyrics- is their music, they are (or were?) awesome musicians and I hope ther're still. thx for the review
Tinderstick are not from Australia. Hungry Saw is actually a good album, unfortunately not as good as the first two.
I am going to photograph them on saturday at the RFH so be ready to see their live pics on liveon35mm.com
Well done, nice site!
This the Tidersticks 7th Album...
They're from Nottingham, and it's swonnishly wonderful they have survived the loss of Dickon, to take their smokey glory in new mournful directions.
Good review. Posters get your rough facts right!
This is an English Group from England, this Album is great considering it is their first effort in a long time. I saw them live in Toronto and they were great....
One shouldn't compare albums when a group has spanned such a long time period as the Tindersticks have
