Ahead of a European tour next month which will culminate in a show at London’s prestigious Royal Albert Hall as well as North and South American dates, Tindersticks have announced a limited edition 7” single that will be available on their forthcoming European dates and to order online.
Today, along with the announcement, the band share previously unreleased B-side track “Soft Tissue” – the conspicuously absent title track from their recently released new album of the same name, which was released late last year via City Slang to high critical acclaim. In addition to “Soft Tissue”, the 7” will include a “Don’t Walk, Run (Edit)” from the new album.

Stuart Staples explains, “‘Soft tissue’ was always a gem within the recordings we made for the album of the same name. It was a little heartbreaking when, in the end and when push came to shove, it was a choice between ’Soft tissue' and ‘Soon to Be April’ as the closing song of the album. These hidden decisions when making an album are painful ones. Time will reveal if this was a correct one. I am still unsure.”
"The song came from a small idea thrown into the room of a recording session. The band played it twice – a special moment that we were able to catch in a recording. We listened to the playback and no one needed to say anything, there was such a powerful feeling in the room. Months of writing and arranging followed to form it into its shape as a song. But that moment when it all kicked off at the beginning is something that speaks of the essence of the album.”
