Tindersticks, formed in 1991 in Nottingham, England, are a band known for their distinct blend of chamber pop, indie rock, and soulful, melancholic ballads. The core members, Stuart A. Staples, David Boulter, and Neil Fraser, have been the backbone of the group since its inception, with Staples' baritone voice and poetic lyrics defining the band's introspective and atmospheric sound. Their music often incorporates lush orchestrations, featuring strings and keyboards, which complement their moody and narrative-driven songwriting.

Throughout their career, Tindersticks have produced a prolific body of work, marked by a commitment to artistic evolution and collaboration. Their recent releases showcase their versatility, featuring a number of soundtracks for films by the acclaimed French director Claire Denis, such as "Stars at Noon" and "Both Sides of the Blade." The band's ability to weave narrative and emotion into their compositions has made them a go-to choice for film scores. Aside from their cinematic endeavors, their 2020 studio album "Distractions" continues to reflect the band's knack for exploring new sonic territories while maintaining their signature fusion of dark, romantic, and introspective themes.
