Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
Never ones to shy away from their own unwavering path, the second Tindersticks' album this year, sees them score the soundtrack to Claire Denis' controversial art-house film Trouble Every Day, in which Beatrice Dalle seduces and cannibalises her way through four men. Tindersticks and Denis have viewed each other with a long-held mutual admiration, and this is their second collaboration following their soundtrack to the 1996 film Nenette Et Boni. Like that album, the music here veers away on the whole, from their ennui-laced, melancholic vignettes. Instead, the songs are sparse, stripped-down affairs suggesting a haunting and dislocated mood made all the more eerily poignant when imagining the film's horrific scenes of carnage. Strings are half-plucked and remain motionless in the air for a few seconds, horns tremulously sound, creating somnambulist and elegiac fragments of songs. While fans may miss singer Stuart Staples' trademark Walker-esque croon or the lush, rich arrangements of classic Tindersticks' songs, Trouble Every Day is nonetheless an affecting album, which demonstrates a brooding, understated intensity. The album's title and only vocal track, is a riposte to the album's nakedness, with the sweep of the strings and Staples' voice producing a melancholic yet life-affirming warmth. --Suzannah Brown
Chronique amazon.fr
Cinq ans après Nénette et Boni, Trouble Every Day marque la deuxième collaboration entre les ténébreux Tindersticks et l'énigmatique Claire Denis. Stuart Staples et ses camarades dandys emballent les images cannibales de la réalisatrice dans des instrumentaux tapissés de cordes et de percussions. Pendant plus de 40 minutes, ils déambulent dans un espace fluide composé de pièces partiellement occupées par la voix désabusée du chanteur (3 titres seulement). Ses murmures rajoutés aux variations crépusculaires sur un même thème (suivant les principes érigés par Bernard Hermann) donnent à cette B.O. tonalité sensuelle, troublante et inquiétante, à l'image du couple formé par Béatrice Dalle et Vincent Gallo. Les silences de cette musique solennelle et contemplative, traversée des vocaux accablés d'un crooner torturé, suintent la mélancolie mais ignorent la joliesse harmonique. Comme inabouti, le travail des Tindersticks évite la tentation du morbide, l'écueil de la grandiloquence dramatique. Leur science de l'immobilisme en font les chantres miraculeux d'une symphonie en spleen majeur. --Sabrina Silamo

Another Martini, please...,
By Miguel Moura (Coimbra, Portugal) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Trouble Every Day (Audio CD)
I can't recommend this record to anyone unfamiliar with Tindersticks. This soundtrack serves only the purpose of the film its in and almost all songs, listened without the imagery behind it, seem shattered and loose, although the opening titles might misguide you about the conception of the whole record. Just for Tindersticks' fans or for those who own a bar and are looking for music that is heard only by costumers who become introspective while drinking martinis.

Variations of somber and beautiful moods.,

This review is from: Trouble Every Day (Audio CD)
Many Tindersticks aficionados were somewhat puzzled by the bands recent immersion in soul and R&B style crooning. Now, I happen to think that "Can our Love" (their preceding release) is an excellent album, catchy and passionate and full of great little details. But I also wondered if the band had given up creating the grander and more solemn moods that lived in their second album.Trouble Every Day drips with the kind of somber and profound mood that the band seemed to have discarded in their recent releases. For those who aren't familiar with the Tindersticks, imagine a synthesis of Angelo Badalamenti with John Cage, and early Leonard Cohen - performed inside a chapel. No comparisons are fair, since the sound is truly greater than the some of it's possible influences. "Trouble Every Day" is more of a composed work than something that might have spontaneously come from a rock band. Many of the basslines are played (beautifully) by a double bass, and a full orchestra is used to great effect. Eastern sounding hand-percussion, acoustic guitar, and brass section all contribute to a mood that somehow feels both rich and austere. Of course all the usual members of Tindersticks contribute with the creativity and musicality that they have brought to all their recordings. There is only one actual song here, though it appears in three versions. And the tracks are mostly variations on a few musical themes. So it doesn't really work as a pop album, but instead as several slices or movements within a larger body of work. It plays much better when listened to in one sitting, rather than as a track or two before moving on. I think this an excellent CD. For Tindersticks fans, I think it is a must buy. It is much more complex and interesting than their "Nanette and Boni" soundtrack. For those unfamiliar with Tindersticks, this album would be a good choice for someone who is looking for a mostly instrumental album with a somber, and slightly minimalist musical feel. Note: This is also one of the best-recorded CD's I own. This may make you want to upgrade your stereo.

A great album....,
By Christian Cavicchio - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Trouble Every Day (Audio CD)
It takes a real smart person and an incredible stroke of luck to blend music with a movie and have it really truly work. I am a big Tindersticks fan and I was a huge fan of Trouble Every Day which was one of the most gruesome films i have ever seen, and horror and gore is my thing... But Tindersticks creates a truly haunting soundtrack, Of course the album stands out alone as well but see the film first if you can and see what tindersticks lends to it...
