Minimalist. Mundane. Melancholy. These are some of the words that describe Tindersticks’ new video for “Medicine,” off The Something Rain (Constellation; out February 21). Showcasing various still-life shots in their personal studio (Le Chien Chanceux), “Medicine” elicits a strange pang of sadness, though nothing seems out of the ordinary. Perhaps it’s the isolation of the empty studio or the juxtaposition of the lounge-like, orchestral melody, but something about “Medline” remains utterly gloomy, though in the best way possible. Watch “Medicine” below, especially if it’s rainy, miserable day.
