Single Of The Week: Tindersticks 'Boobar Come Back To Me'

Predictable? TracksandGigs?

'Boobar' has to be single of the week because it is one of the best songs I've heard all year and I never, ever get tired of hearing it. A beautiful song about trying to find something you have lost, it builds from a slow, acoustic start to a massive Spector-esque ending that will make you fall in love with Tindersticks just a little bit more than you already had. Absolutely stunning, but I have said this many times already this year so...

The 'B Side' is 'Tout L'Amour', which is a re-recording of 'All The Love' from 'The Hungry Saw'...but sung in French....by drummer Thomas Belhom. It is very nice indeed.

This is a limited 7" single with only 600 copies available worldwide. You could of course buy it digitally on itunes but how soul-less would that make you? No, what you want to be doing is popping over to www.piccadillyrecords.com or www.normanrecords.com and giving them £4 in exchange for one of these little beauties. You'll feel so much better about life if you do.

You'll be ecstatic to see that we have now managed to have a 'Single of the Week' two weeks in a row and three weeks out of four!! Next week is well and truly up for grabs though because we had pencilled in 'Carpetbaggers' by Jenny Lewis but thats been put back to the 13th so if you have any suggestions, drop TracksandGigs a line.

['Boobar' is out Monday on 7" and download]
