Tindersticks last release on Constellation Records was 2008’s The Hungry Saw. Since then, the band’s founding members David Boulter and Stuart Staples have composed the soundtrack for Claire Denis’ new movie 35 Shots of Rum, toured the world, and finished recording another LP with a few guests. The current band includes Staples (vocals, guitar), Boutler (keys, vibes), and Neil Fraser (guitar), joined by longtime collaborator Terry Edwards (horns), and recent recruit Dan McKinna (bass). “Black Smoke” is a Northern Soul/folk cut from the group’s eighth album, Falling Down a Mountain. It will be available February 16th in North America (and everywhere else January 25th via 4AD). Be sure to check out the new single from the Nottingham band above.
