Tindersticks includes: Stuart Staples (vocals).
Additional personnel: Isabella Rossellini, Ann Magnuson (vocals); Jesus Alemany (trumpet); Joe De Jesus (trombone, flute); Lucy Shaw (bass); David Patman (bongos).
Engineers: Tindersticks, Ian Caple, Craig Chettle, John Siket.
Recorded at Angel Studios and Eastcote Studios, London, England; Sear Sound, New York, New York.
By the time of their third album, Tindersticks had moved far from their rock band origins, toward a more decadent, loungy aesthetic--more Scott Walker than Nick Cave. The strings and horns present since the group's debut take a much more prominent role, dominating the arrangements. The increased reliance on orchestra, the turn toward an even moodier style, and the increasingly film noir-like vignettes of the lyrics give CURTAINS an extremely cinematic quality (which the group would eventually take further by scoring the film NENETTE ET BONI. While Stuart Staple's deep, lugubrious singing is still far from stentorian, the lyrics are decipherable enough to provide a sense of the wasted-lives/rented-rooms scenarios that define the album's worldview.
