Simple Pleasure

Tindersticks

A lean, soul-drenched departure from their orchestral roots. Smoky baritone vocals meet Hammond organs and steady grooves in a late-night urban landscape.

September 6, 1999 · Island Records

Find on Amazon

A weary but soulful acceptance of romantic disillusionment set against a warm urban backdrop.

Moments Worth Listening For
The unexpected soul-inflected backing vocals that elevate the chorus of Can We Start Again?
The patient, hypnotic organ swell that anchors the six-minute slow-burn of Before You Close Your Eyes.
The fragile, high-register vulnerability in Staples' voice during the cover of If You're Looking for a Way Out.
