A lot of postings this week as Mrs Blade's been in Cairo, anyway, she's just landed so this is the last post for the week.

Tindersticks - Rented Rooms - EP 1 and 2
One of Mrs Blades all time favorite groups (lest face it, most women like the guys voice).

From Wiki . . .
Their sound is characterised by a synthesis of orchestral backing, lounge jazz, and soul; the lush orchestrations of multi-instrumentalist Dickon Hinchliffe and the smoky baritone of lead vocalist Stuart Staples are the band's hallmarks. Tindersticks have employed electric guitars, as most rock bands have done, but augment their instrumentation with a wide array of instruments: Rhodes piano, glockenspiel, vibraphone, violin, trumpet, trombone, clarinet, bassoon, Hammond organ, and many more are prominently utilised in the music of Tindersticks. The band has a cult following in the United Kingdom and continental Europe, although the eclectic and unique sound Tindersticks possesses never made significant inroads in the mainstream.

Here you have a very good intro to their sound with a couple of classic thrown in (Rented Rooms and She's Gone).
