Tindersticks were one of the most original and distinctive British acts of the '90s, standing apart from both the British indie scene and the rash of Brit-pop guitar combos that dominated the U.K. charts. Where their contemporaries were often direct and to the point, Tindersticks were obtuse and leisurely, crafting dense, difficult songs layered with literary lyrics, intertwining melodies, mumbling vocals, and gently melancholy orchestrations. Essentially, the group filtered the dark romanticism of Leonard Cohen, Ian Curtis, and Scott Walker through the bizarre pop songcraft of Lee Hazlewood and the aesthetics of indie rock. Though their music was far from casual listening, Tindersticks gained a dedicated cult following in the mid-'90s, beginning with their eponymous 1993 debut album, which was named Album of the Year by Melody Maker. At their best -- their 1993 and 1995 self-titled albums, 1997's Curtains, 2001's Can Our Love …, and 2012's The Something Rain -- Tindersticks crafted richly orchestrated, darkly beautiful music that often felt like soundtracks to imaginary movies. (Not surprisingly, they would find themselves scoring motion pictures after their breakthrough, including several projects with director Claire Denis.) 2021's Distractions saw the group exploring new directions with electronics and ambient textures while still creating music that reflected their own unique musical vision.

Kosta je stajao na tankoj crti, floroscentno plave boje... Osećao je da isijava sopstvenom unutrašnjom svetlošću i da ima razloga što stoji na crti, koju je između ostalog, da spomenemo, sam stvorio. Oko Koste i crte nema ničega. Kosta je u mraku i njemu je to bilo dovoljno. Taj mrak je bio njegov, on je zamislio takav mrak... Kosta je poželeo da se pored njega, u mraku, pojavi božanstvena, prelepa boginja-muza, koja će ga napojiti svojim inspirativnim darovima. Muza se pojavila i bila je slepa. Znao je da će biti slepa, to je i želeo. Stajala je kao kip, kao živi slepi mit. Uživao je. Napajao se „božanstvenom“ energijom svoje boginje. Disao je duboko i teško, osetio je da mu se disanje usporava i da srce počinje jako da mu udara. Uplašio se... Boginja je ostala nema i sjajno slepa. Njeno slepilo je isijavalo snažnu, belu, svetlost koju Kosta sada više nije mogao da podnese. Želeo je nazada u svoj mrak. Ništa više, samo nazad u svoj mrak. Sve je nestalo... Ostao je mrak i florosce...
