The Something Rain
''The Something Rain'' is the ninth studio album by British band Tindersticks, released in February 2012 on their own Lucky Dog Recordings label in the UK, on City Slang Records in Europe, and on Constellation Records in North America. In 2012 it was awarded a double silver certification from the Independent Music Companies Association, which indicated sales of at least 40,000 copies throughout Europe.

''Pitchfork'' summed up the record by saying "it leaves a very hazy, almost spectral impression when it ends. But it's also warm and in some ways comforting, and it improves the more you listen to it and tease out the details in the songs." BBC Music described the album as "the sound of a band rediscovering themselves" and ''Uncut'' had a similar view, saying Tindersticks sounded like "a band with restored self-belief, again loving doing what they do better than anyone else". AllMusic said "''Falling Down a Moun ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
