GuyHJul 28, 2006The last couple of albums by the Tindersticks were a bit over produced and too long considering there were some weak tracks included. Staples has stripped things right down here and it works well. 'That Leaving Feeling' and 'Already Gone' are right up there with great Tindersticks tracks like 'Travelling Light' and 'Marbles'.

Awards & Rankings
-
He emerges here as a more "traditional" kind of songwriter; the tunes are more conventional in structure, but like his spiritual mentor Leonard Cohen, Staples' lyrics are rooted firmly in the terrain of love, loss, regret, passage, dissolution, and absence.
-
Its warmth, honesty and intuitive sensitivity capture Stuart Staples firmly back to the dizzy high-quality heights of his cherishable early-career with the Tindersticks.
-
As a solo record, it's no declaration of independence, but by sticking to what he does best, Staples makes it ring with sadness and sophistication.
