I had an intimate and honest chat with Stuart Staples, frontman of Tindersticks, who’ve been carving their unique atmospheric music for over thirty years.
When I first heard them, I was immediately drawn to this kind of melancholic romanticism that they seem to tap so well into. I’d listen and in my mind picture a group of gentleman musicians that wear good suits and read old paperbacks. On the eve of the release of new LP, Distractions, we had a conversation from his home in France where we discussed the validity of being pretentious, film scoring, recording in lockdown and what drives his creativity.
