Tindersticks by Richard Dumas
Tindersticks’ soundtrack will be released on October 14th.
The title-track of Tindersticks’ soundtrack to the new motion picture from Claire Denis has been shared today.
“Stars At Noon had been in Claire’s thoughts for a long time, maybe even 10 years,” Stuart A. Staples said. “We have had many conversations, I had a strong feeling for it and half a song somewhere in my mind.”
“I remembered the percussionist David Pattman, he played the bongos on the Trouble Every Day score 20 years before. He was happy to hear from me and we quickly arranged a recording session with Dan McKinna on double bass and Ross Stanley on Hammond organ. We had a blast those days, taking the ideas apart, putting them back together in many different forms.”
“At the centre was the song Stars At Noon – I was pushing it to be slower and slower, until it only just grooved, just on the cusp. Finding that tempo was key for me and the final version was recorded live in one take. Julian Seigel arrived later and played the beautiful tenor sax line.”
