Tindersticks have released their new song and accompanying video ‘Always A Stranger’, taken from their forthcoming album ‘Soft Tissue,’ which will be released on the 13th of September via City Slang.
Of the new single, frontman Stuart Staples explains:
“Some of the songs I write, I understand their reference points. For ‘New World’ and ‘Don’t Walk, Run,’ I probably understood their reference points. But some songs I don’t understand where they come from at all – They just kind of happen. ‘Always a Stranger’ is one of those songs, it holds a kind of mystery to me at the very center of it.”
Directed by Staples and shot by guitarist Neil Fraser, the official video captures the driving energy of the hypnotic track that culminates in Staples’ poetic refrain:
“Oh life, breathe through me, As this light falls, My love is in flames and I’m always a stranger”
A underwater lullaby that ebbs and flows with a gentle washing of strings and picked guitar. Staples laid back baritone is endearing and hugely emotive. Part dream, part indie folk slow jam with horns, make ‘Soft Tissue’ one of the albums you buy this year.
