Depois do muito bem recebido "The Something Rain" (2012), e da surpreendente revisão de 10 temas feita em "Across Six Leap Years" (2013) chegamos ao mais recente e impressionante "The Waiting Room" (2016).
Ao fim de 25 anos e de 10 (11 incluindo "Across Six Leap Years") álbuns, a melhor definição que li sobre os Tindersticks vem da Pitchfork aquando da edição de "The Waiting Room":
"Tindersticks have never released a bad album, never made an opportunistic, trend-driven shift, and have never done anything that might date their music to its moment of origin. They’re the rare group that can lay claim to a signature sound, yet tweak the formula from album to album so that each of their 10 records possesses its own distinct character."

O primeiro dueto que se encontra neste último álbum dos Tindersticks é "Hey Lucinda" mais uma vez gravado com Lhasa de Sela. "Hey Lucinda" foi gravada em 2009, pouca antes, portanto, da morte de Lhasa de Sela, nada melhor que as palavras do próprio Stuart Staples:
"This song is kind of devastating, because we lost Lhasa [to cancer, soon after 'Hey Lucinda' was recorded in 2009]. Going back to the song after four years and listening to it made me think of the great time we had together making it. That's what makes the song. It's about the moment. That moment we had ... We had a great time. That's the moment I felt responsible toward when I decided to finish it for the album, more than the sadness I felt about losing her. We had fun. I think at times in the song, you can hear her laughing. She was very special. A lot of singers would have taken 'Hey Lucinda' and seen it as a very sad song, from the woman's point of view. But it's really not. The woman in the song is in control. She's moving on. It's the guy who's kind of clinging on for dear life, who won't let go. Lhasa understood that, and she had fun with that."
