TINDERSTICKS drop ‘See My Girls EP’

• 24th Jan 2020

Tindersticks dropped a four-song ‘See My Girls‘ EP,  available digitally immediately, with a physical release set for release via City Slang. Accompanying the EP is a video for the title track, created by Tindersticks’ Stuart A Staples and his daughter Sidonie Osborne Staples, who recently graduated with a masters degree in Fine Art. 
 
The four song EP features a radio edit of “See My Girls,” an instrumental dub version of the track and two new songs – the David Boulter penned instrumental “A Street Walker’s Carol” and “Blood And Bone,” with Sidonie on lead vocals. The EP is a companion to Tindersticks’ 2019 release ‘No Treasure but Hope’.
 
“‘See My Girls’ is a song about isolation, tourism, migration, and as part of No Treasure but Hope about the beauty and terror of the world,” says Staples. “It was written on Ithaca and from the perspective of a small island, looking out with wonder and apprehension across the sea and beyond. The film is a collaboration with my daughter Sidonie Osborne Staples. After much preparation and experimentation, she made a continuous, layered illustration of her interpretation of the song, around 50mm high and 3m in length.”
