Tindersticks announces new album with new single 'Loving, Leaving'
With our last album, 2024's Soft tissue, we felt like we were looking over the fence into a new landscape, maybe even leaning over.
Making 15 albums we have learned that sometimes there are steps forward, sometimes there are leaps. Soft tissue was a great step, but it was time to try and leap over that fence.
Dog Roses was borne of a new studio, new ways of working, new desires, even a new confidence. Leaving behind our beloved studio home of the last 20 years – an ambient, almost church place – moving into an underground, hidden space. A jolt. A place where old methods didn't seem to work and new solutions had to be found.
'Most things I have learned, that I thought I knew about making albums proved to be of little use when making Dog roses. I have always had a strong sense of time and place in my writing – but sometimes while making this album it felt like trying to catch only a fragrance or the feeling of the knot in my stomach, or catching a glance of myself in a mirror – the 1000 questions, thoughts, emotions you can feel in one moment'
Produced and recorded by Stuart Staples, Dog roses was written and recorded between December '25 and August '26. The sound still made from the unique musicality of each member: the effortless feel of Earl Harvin's drums, Dan McKinna's always adventuring bass, David Boulter's unexpected touches and choices and Neil Fraser's guitar – always pushing at the songs' edges.
For Dog roses we were joined by the special guests – Dave Okumu, electric guitar and Julian Siegel, saxophone. And, of course, the strings feature on two songs led by long-time collaborator Lucy Wilkins.
