Curtains (1997)

Buy from Amazon.com

Tindersticks is an excellent band. They were formed in far 1992. I wrote about their album "Waiting for the Moon" some time ago. Tindersticks filtered the dark romanticism of Leonard Cohen, Ian Curtis and Scott Walker. "Curtains" is an amazing collection of beautiful songs. The rich voice of Stuart Staples, lush orchestral arrangements and melancholic lyrics make this album one of the best Tindersticks' works. Please pay your attention to "A Marriage Made in Heaven", which features the duet with Isabella Rossellini, who much more accomplished actress, rather than singer, and she provides a charming and accurate vocal counterpart to Stuart Staples.
