Tindersticks Curtains (2-CD)

3.5 Stars (out of 5) - "...a stunning blend of smooth beauty and crafted campiness....a carefully balanced album, tailor-made for the space that exists between the dizzying rush of romanticism and the comic letdown of reality."
"...CURTAINS may not expand on the band's narrow vision...but [Tindersticks] continue to refine its hazy, late-night sound." - Rating: B+
Included in Q Magazine's "50 Best Albums of 1997."
Ranked #34 on Melody Maker's list of 1997's "Albums Of The Year."
"...vocalist Stuart Staples...mumbles eloquently through a world where it's always 2 am. Nothing happens, but beautifully."
Ranked #43 in NME's 1997 Critics' Poll.
8 (out of 10) - "...The third Tindersticks album...is still more Finsbury Park B&B than Hotel California. Songs unwind very, very slowly with a kind of wracked, bruised grace, all creaking organs and woozy strings..."
