This is ‘Bareback’, the first and the definitive DVD collection of videos from Tindersticks. The DVD includes nine stylized short films, all directed by long term Tindersticks friend and international Emmy award winner and Bafta nominee Martin Wallace. This collection therefore spans the Tindersticks’ full repertoire by including songs from their critically acclaimed Beggars Banquet releases and also from their four earlier Island Records albums. Complimenting the Tindersticks history of writing understated yet beautifully sublime music, the films themselves are tasteful and truly original. Notes on ‘Bareback’ by Martin Wallace : City Sickness : We had the idea that the shot of Stuart with the kite led into the middle eight and that most staple of cinematic conventions : the ‘kite’s-eye-view’. Having no money to do crane shots we concocted a chest harness which supported two six-foot poles topped by a metal plate to which the camera could be attached. We took it in turns to be strapped to this strange appendage as we wandered around Oxford Circus. The final edit took place at a budget facility on the outskirts of Soho. Travelling Light : Stuart wanted the video to feature a man and woman. We developed a series of mundane actions and shot it on a super8 camera with a wide angle lens which we later realised didn’t fit properly. The resultant ‘Zaprutavision’ added a layer of authenticity. Chuck into the mix my mum’s dog (Sally) and an interesting pub (the Macbeth) - both sadly no longer with us - lots of good dancing and some shopping for toilet roll and pot noodle footage and you have perhaps the definitive Tindersticks music video experience. Bathtime : They’d done cameos in ‘City Sickness’ but the moment to feature the group for the first time was upon us. The idea of an oddly choreographed, unedited shot that scanned 360 degrees was born. Rented Rooms : Time to go ball deep with the idea of them being in their video. Putting them at the centre of something extravagant, with over-expressive choreography that verged on emotional charades. It was surprisingly easy to get one of the dancers to mime oral sex. Fact : if you dance all day in a diamante g-string your crotch will chafe like nobody’s business. Can We Start Again : Shot mostly on a single street near where I live. When the shop-keepers saw the finished thing I was rather unwelcome in their establishments and was forced to take my custom elsewhere. Can Our Love : Stuart’s idea of a couple with parallel stories unfolding on separate screens led me to a couple of romantic weekends in Prague trailing Dave and Veronika like a crap stalker. Don’t Ever Get Tired : An interesting unisex hairdressers and the memories of when I had hair. Sometimes it Hurts : Whilst thinking about ideas for this, the man started out as a greyhound enthusiast then became a speedway rider and then finally a wall of death rider. There’s only really one wall of death show in the UK now whereas fifty years ago there’d have been one in every seaside town. Whilst rehearsing the dog parlour stuff we had to be careful because apparently if you comb a Shih Tzuýs fur the wrong way it’s eyes can fall out. The Art of Lovemaking : Stuart had seen some history of pornography which featured a Russian sex education film from maybe the 1940s. He described it to me and it sounded exciting. I then it decided it was time for me to pass on my years of experience.
