U.K. soul rockers Tindersticks have announced plans for the release of their eight studio album. It’s titled Falling Down a Mountain, sports 10 tracks, and is due January 25th in Europe through 4AD and February 16th in North America through Constellation.
The album follows the success of the Nottingham outfit’s 2008 record, The Hungry Saw. Recorded at the band’s own Le Chien Chanceux studio in rural France and at ICP in Brussels between May and July 2009, the release will be proceeded by a European tour. One of the album tracks, “Black Smoke”, is currently available for free download below.
For all other details, including the process behind the making of Falling Down a Mountain, let’s have the Tindersticks themselves take it away (via their MySpace).
Our last album, The Hungry Saw, was our first in five years. We didn’t really know what to expect on its release; we had just six concerts booked, and everyone was a little nervous…
That was April 2008. The success of those concerts, including the Royal Festival Hall in London and the Folies Bergere in Paris, took us all by surprise and led to seventy more shows in Europe and the US - ending with a beautiful summer’s evening headlining The Serpentine Sessions in Hyde Park in July of 2010.
From those nervous beginnings a new unity and sense of direction grew. Where once our touring days were spent hanging around, killing time, now we found ourselves cobbling together acoustic rehearsals for new ideas in dressing rooms and venue corridors. There was a growing need to explore and we quickly started working in the studio.
With hindsight, The Hungry Saw now seems like an album made within the confines of what we knew; in making Falling Down A Mountain those boundaries became irrelevant.Check Out:
