Rocktrospectiva: The Beauty And Melancholic "No Treasure But Hope" Turns 5

Released on 15 November 2019, "No Treasure But Hope" was the 12th., studio album by alternative English outfir Tindersticks. Although the album failed to chart in the UK, it achieved modest chart placings in other European countries, the album spawned two singles "The Amputees" & "See The Girls". 

 

Stuart Staples, the vocalist and leader of the band found love and moved to a Greek island to enjoy life but without abandon music, in the distance, he kept contact with the band member until finally decided to join together in Paris and London to finish the album, so here we are again, the opener "For The Beauty" is brilliant, he vocalist sings delicately over Dan McKinna’s mournful piano, which sounds suited to a funeral rather than a new beginning. "The Amputees" is hard and tough, but "See My Girls" is placid referring the refugees who died in the Mediterranean Sea, "Pinky In The Daylight" it's a song with its regular parameters and sound joy and easy, and then again, the contrast, reflecting on aging "Carousel" and "The Old Mans Gait" blinks on that, while the insecurity reflects on "Tough Love", to finish with "No Treasure But Hope". 

 

The album had the usual splendid and particular Staples's voice as a feature, a changing album with a different sense of life from and Island in Greece, and certain colours like the gray, black and white to show the duality between beauty and tragic.
