Enticing Indie
Songs about the Devil are plentiful, he's one of the stables of rock music, but Tindersticks tale still remains an enticing one that fascinates with its curious mix of rasping vocals that would be typical of a brooding rock number about the hellish, and twinkling percussion. There's a jaunty country swagger to the tune that hooks the listener in.
Bside, 'The Flicker Of A Little Girl' is a sweet, mellow little number featuring blissful fluttering woodwind backing and a sparkling mix of guitars and tambourine that will bring a smile to your face with its fresh and vibrant feel. 'The Turns We Took To Get Here' is a slow, melodic tune that sees the singer's gravelly vocals quivering over a smooth crescendo of guitars and strings. As a taster of Tindersticks album, due out at the end of this month, 'The Hungry Saw' bodes well with a variety of tunes that feel well conceived and full of potential.
