For nearly 35 years, Stuart Staples has helmed the adventurous UK indie ensemble Tindersticks, and the band shows no signs of deceleration. Following the release of their experimental full-length Soft Tissue in 2024 and their inaugural North American tour in over a decade, Tindersticks are preparing to deliver their fifteenth studio album. Titled Dog Roses, the record is scheduled for release in March.
The upcoming collection marks a creative shift for the band, recorded this time at an undisclosed subterranean studio rather than their longtime creative home. Guitarist Dave Okumu of The Invisible and saxophonist Julian Siegel join the fold for the sessions, bringing fresh textures to the group’s evolving soundscape. Staples offers insight into the album’s genesis in a recent press statement:
Our previous effort, 2023’s Soft Tissue, left us standing at the edge of unexplored territory—perhaps even peering beyond it. Over the course of 15 records, we’ve discovered that growth comes through both gradual steps and bold leaps. Soft Tissue represented a meaningful stride, yet it felt like the moment had come to make a greater leap…
Much of what I believed I understood about crafting albums proved inadequate when approaching Dog Roses. While time and place have always anchored my songwriting, these sessions demanded something more elusive—attempting to capture not just sensations, but intangible moments: the weight of emotion, fleeting expressions, the thousands of unspoken inquiries swirling within a single breath.
