OK, so TracksandGigs may not have had a 'Single of the Week' before, but this is a special occasion...
Tindersticks release the first single from their amazing 'The Hungry Saw' LP today and it is the title track. 'The Hungry Saw' is one of the best examples of the new sound and renewed vibrancy of the band following the line-up changes and quick recording of their first album in five years. It sounds raw and fresh with a great lyric from Stuart Staples about the devil lurking in all of us. Musically it sounds like something from the first album, a mix of 'Patchwork' and 'Her', with the most catchy and immediate chorus, Tindersticks have ever produced.
B Side 'Back To The Earth' is just as rough around the edges. With another interesting lyric and catchy melody, this is an addition to the list of 'quirky' Tindersticks songs, sounding like 'Desperate Man' mixed with 'Just A Dog'.
Single of the week anyway, or indeed....of the year.
While on the subject of The 'Sticks (less than three weeks til they play London now! Can I wait? No.), fans should check out the revamped and better than ever Tindergigs ( http://www.tindergigs.com ). The number one resource for tinderinfo on the internet.
