Tindersticks are a rock band from Nottingham, England. Their sound is characterised by a synthesis of orchestral backing, lounge jazz, and soul; the lush orchestrations of multi-instrumentalist Dickon Hinchliffe and the smoky baritone of lead vocalist Stuart Staples are the band's hallmarks. Tindersticks have employed electric guitars, as most rock bands have done, but augment their instrumentation with a wide array of instruments: Rhodes piano, glockenspiel, vibraphone, violin, trumpet, trombone, clarinet, bassoon, Hammond organ, and many more are prominently utilised in the music of Tindersticks.

Tindersticks is the self-titled debut album by chamber pop band Tindersticks, released in 1993 (see 1993 in music). The album was named "Album of the Year" by Melody Maker.

Tindersticks is the name of the second album by Tindersticks, released in 1995. It is often referred to as The Second Album in order to distinguish it from the band's debut album, which was also self-titled. The album cover shows guitarist Neil Fraser at the Timothy Everest shop in London.
