The Tindersticks are an institution. Founded 20 years ago in Nottingham, the band still plays a definition of gloomy, country influenced Indie Rock. It seems that Singer/Songwriter Stuart A. Staples and his musicians luckily will be around for some more years. These days their 9th album “The Something Rain” will be released by City Slang.
In support of the record the band gives away the song “Frozen” for free and also put out a nice video for “Medicine”.
The label City Slang just announced a release date for the new Dear Reader-album. If you look at the tracklist of “Idealistic Animals” it seems to be some kind of conceptual work. The album will see the light of day on September 2nd. City Slang and Dear Reader are giving away a new song for all good people waiting.
Here is a little glimpse of 2011. Wye Oak will release their third album “Civillian” via City Slang in early march. The duo of Jenn Wasner and Andy Stack play a kind of 21st-century folk music, imbued with dense shoegaze guitars, nearly melodic rhythms, and splashes of electronic color. You can get the title track of the forthcoming LP now at their Labels homepage.
