Rife with romantic orchestrations, intrepid percussion, daring experimentation and the quavering lilt of Stuart Staples, the album challenges the band’s status quo while continuing to produce songs that could fit on any of their previous albums. “Falling Down A Mountain” demonstrates one more commendable stage in the band’s evolution, proving that Tindersticks, far from plummeting, have ascended to the peak of musical maturity with only...
