Nénette et Boni
A fragile, mostly instrumental score of hazy chamber-pop and smoky lounge. Tindersticks trade their usual grandeur for intimate, rain-slicked sketches of urban longing.

Imagine a Parisian apartment where the light is always dim and the air is thick with the smell of old paper and damp wool. Nénette et Boni isn't the grand, sweeping Tindersticks of their self-titled albums; it is the sound of those same musicians whispering in the corner of a room so quiet you can hear the tape hiss. It is a collection of vignettes that capture the mundane beauty and crushing loneliness of the film's protagonists. The music doesn't demand your attention; it seeps into the cracks of your environment, turning a simple evening into a scene from a French New Wave film.
