From his home in Prague, founder David Boulter talks about bringing the band into the light
Tindersticks are a decidedly late-night band—all bar room loss and swooning lovers—so it is strange to speak to founder member and organ player David Boulter in the bright light of morning. David is at home in Prague, just returned from London after the cancellation of the band’s four Soho Theatre shows due to singer Stuart Staples’s laryngitis. They are disappointed—“it was quite a lot of intense work building up to this”—but could clearly not go ahead without Staples’s distinctive voice in good condition and will reschedule the gigs for later in the year. “After a year of recording the album it feels like a release to go out there and play it,” he says.
