30th anniversary shows with orchestra / string quartet and guests
We are happy and relieved to be able to announce our anniversary tour for springtime 2022.
We have been and are greatly missing being able to play our music together and for you. But what better time to return than to celebrate 30(!) years of somehow being able to stay dedicated to doing our own thing. And we are well aware and grateful that this has been made possible by the support of our audience.
Even though we are not ones to look backwards this seems a time to savour and enjoy for many reasons. We are planning two sets each evening, the first as a 5 piece and the second with many of the musicians who have been part of our rich musical family over the years, with most evenings augmented by a local string orchestra.
With the help of our promoters the venues have been very carefully chosen: Some favourites and some we have been trying to play for a long time.
We are very much hoping to see you all there!
To coincide we are working with City Slang to create a career spanning release and other ways to mark this special time. More soon on all this.
Roll on 2022!
With love

New album ‘Distractions’ announced / Man alone (can’t stop the fadin’) released today,
In the back of a London cab driving through the city at night is a very special space for me. It has a particular kind of aloneness. This fascination grew over hundreds of nights leaving the the studio exhausted at 1 am – Ladbroke Grove or St Johns wood, through the city and over the river to South East London in an almost dream state. This film for Man alone became a way of touching the city and that way of feeling both a part of and apart from it.
New single ‘You’ll have to scream louder’ released today.
tindersticks concert cancellation announcement
Concert cancellation announcement
It is with a great sadness and disappointment on our behalf that we are forced to announce the cancellation of our forthcoming October / November shows across Europe due to the Covid 19 situation.
Please contact the point of sale for the tickets for refunds.
We hope to have more positive news soon as our plans become clearer. At least this time has given us unexpected studio time that has been really creative.
We hope for better times for music, for us all.
Until then, keep safe and well

The film for ’See my girls’ is a collaboration with Stuart’s daughter Sidonie Osborne Staples made from her continuous illustration of the songs narrative.
Sidonie also made the artwork for the EP and co-wrote ‘Blood and bone’ on which she also provides the lead vocal.

We wanted to make something physical and human. Not constrained by clicks or grids or loops. Songs played into the air, captured in a moment, unique to that moment and how we felt and reacted to each other within.
You can read the words here
‘For the beauty’
‘Pinky in the daylight’
Taken from the album ‘No treasure but hope’, listen and watch the film directed by Stuart.
“The chorus for ‘Pinky in the daylight’ came to me through the flapping canvas of the sun shade on the deck
of the old blue ferry leaving the island – A rare moment of contentment and calm. A simple love song in
complicated times.
I wanted to make a film that captured the beauty of the island and the beauty of Suzanne. A love letter in
Super 8 film.”
The first song, ‘The Amputees’
Watch the stop-motion animation made by Stuart, Neil and Suzanne.

New Richard Dumas and
Suzanne Osborne colour portrait
From large format stills taken by Richard during the Paris recording sessions, then overlaid in the darkroom.
Suzanne used a traditional method of hand tinting the print with brush and photographic inks.
Exciting shit!
