Waiting For The Moon is a welcome and singularly strong addition to one of the most impressive catalogues in modern music.

Under The RadarMagnetic.... There isn't an uninteresting song on the whole thing. [#5, p.110]
-
An album of assured breadth, filled with a renewed self-confidence.
-
Q MagazineA startling collection of heart-bruising ballads reminiscent of Nick Cave at his most maudlin. [Aug 2003, p.115]

We're on familiarly bleak and gloomy (although not entirely unironic) Tindersticks ground here and, in the case of this band, familiarity certainly doesn't breed contempt.

Tindersticks have always made music that conjures up smoke: songs that are elusive, wispy and ephemeral, sung by men with somewhat rough smokers' voices. With Waiting for the Moon, unfortunately, little remains once the smoke clears.
