Last week Tindersticks presented the film for 'Were We Once Lovers?', the new single of forthcoming album, 'The Waiting Room’, out on January the 22nd though City Slang. Today sees the release of the single. Watch Tindersticks’ “Were We Once Lovers?” video here.
Stuart Staples about ‘Were We Once Lovers?’: “I have wanted to make a song with a slap bass for some time, it felt dangerous and proved quite a battle to achieve. Resistance even from within our ranks and I would say Dan McKinna was even shy when first playing it - we had to reassure him that he was among friends. The songs structure was also challenging - calling the chords out as we played / recorded - It gives the song an unpredictability that is at odds with the intense momentum that carries it. And that deep lying nervous energy that only a slap bass could bring.”
On January the 23rd Tindersticks and Botanique present the screening of 'The Waiting Room Film Project’, followed by an acoustic performance.
