An intro with only a very few piano tones makes it clear what will await you on this album: standard instruments, arranged minimalistic but intense. A good and accented voice keeping it all together, spreading melancholy and lonelyness on a very intimate album.
The whole CD sounds as if it was recorded from only one musician who sang and played every instrument himself. Usually this could lead into a cold atmoshere, but here it is a warm building of low down tones and of course the Tindersticks are not only one person.
The only thing that was really going on my nerves was the pathos and the vibrato of the singers voice. It is nice in one or two songs, but it is boring and silly in a whole album for my oppinion.
I like this album a lot. Especially tracks 1-5 are relaxing to listen to. The title song of the album The Hungry Saw is the first trivial and silly song and there are some more following. But all in all I will put this record on a several times again.
My favourites: Yesterday Tomorrows und Feel The Sun
