INFO
Tindersticks' first studio album.
Stuart Staples on the first album artwork: "After we finished the music we saw the 'woman dressed in red dancing flamenco' in 1993 in a Chinese 'take-away' restaurant in Soho [West London] and it just had such a connection with the music from our first album."
Raindrops is a re-worked version of The Big Silence, an old song released on the '91 Passion, Coolness, Indifference, Mockery Contempt, Disgust Asphalt Ribbons EP.
