STUART A STAPLES

Leaving Songs
Beggars Banquet
INDIE

  • STUART A. STAPLES is the lead singer with much loved UK outfit TINDERSTICKS. One of the most original and distinctive British acts of the 90s.
  • 'Leaving Songs' is a collection of songs written over the last year and includes some of Stuart's strongest since Tindersticks' 'Curtains'. With the potential to create something very special, Stuart headed for MARK NEVERS' studio with strong support from fellow Tindersticks members and collaborators NEIL FRASER, TERRY EDWARDS, GINA FOSTER and keyboard player DAVE BOULTER (who has also played with BETH ORTON).
  • The album features a duet with MARIA MCKEE on the song "This Road Is Long."
  • Stuart also duets with LHASA DE SELA, a legendary figure in world music born in Canada of Mexican and Jewish descent and winner of the prestigious Juno Award for Best World Music.
  • Few voices have defined the personality of a band in the way that STUART A. STAPLES has done with Tindersticks. Half way through the cavernous ruggedness of LEONARD COHEN and TOM WAITS, the Nottingham artist guided the nighthawk and rabble pop of the group that he created in 1992. Staples approaches music with melancholy and romanticism.
  • SUNDAY AGE (((( "Deep and thoughtful...best listened to late at night after too much cheap wine" ... WEEKEND AUSTRALIA (((( "Deep, dark, measured and resonant" ... THE AGE "A lush affair, intimate quality... Tindersticks tracks in all but name" ... VUE WEEKLY (((( "It's hard to find an artist that can write about heartbreak, misery and general wretchedness and wrap it up in sweet orchestral pop better than England's Stuart A Staples."
