4AD release their first album of 2010 on January 25th with the label debut from Tindersticks.
Falling Down A Mountain, their eighth long-player, came together in two studios (Le Chien Chanceux in France and ICP in Belgium) over three summer months in 2009. Apparently it’s very much a group effort, aided by the new ideas of fresh additions Earl Harvin and David Kitt and a rare guest vocal appearance by Mary Margaret O’Hara (I know one TLOBF writer who’ll be happy with that…), it shows a colourful side to Tindersticks: “With hindsight, The Hungry Saw now seems like an album made within the confines of what we knew; Falling Down A Mountain sees those boundaries become irrelevant.”
The band will be back out touring in the New Year and will be announcing dates shortly. They have also finished their fifth soundtrack for a film, White Material, due also for release next year.
