The cham­ber-pop out­fit have col­lab­o­rat­ed with the Cler­mont-Fer­rand Inter­na­tion­al Film Soci­ety for The Wait­ing Room’.

Hav­ing scored six films for French direc­tor Claire Denis over the past 15 years, the most recent being 2014’s Bas­tards, Eng­lish alt rock group Tin­der­sticks are always worth keep­ing an eye on. On 22 Jan­u­ary via City Slang, the band will release The Wait­ing Room’, an ambi­tious col­lab­o­ra­tive film project where each track is accom­pa­nied by a short film, to be toured with a series of live cine-film events.

The idea was cre­at­ed in con­junc­tion with the Cler­mont-Fer­rand Inter­na­tion­al Short Film Fes­ti­val and its chief organ­is­er, Calmin Borel, whose vast knowl­edge of short film cou­pled with Tin­der­sticks’ dis­tinct aes­thet­ic sen­si­bil­i­ties became a strong foun­da­tion for the con­cept. Spe­cif­ic film­mak­ers were approached, each with a dif­fer­ent song from the album, result­ing in a var­ied col­lec­tion of styles and tech­niques that are a per­fect foil to front­man Stu­art Sta­ples’ inti­mate rela­tion­ship with the songs.
