It may lack the orchestral sheen of their best work but ‘The Flicker of a Little Girl’ is such a nice way to get reacquainted with Nottingham band Tindersticks. Their last album was over half a decade ago and their return sees the band stripped back to a more managable 3-piece. Good to hear Stuart Staples in such fine form, in the early days I had him down as a Nick Cave clone but quickly saw the folly of my ways and fell head over heals for his soft gravely tones. ‘The Flicker of a Little Girl’ is easy listening for those who lose their marbles listening to daytime radio playlists. It is taken from Tindersticks forthcoming album ‘The Hunger Saw’ which will be released on Beggars Banquet in April. KD
