"Raindrops" sits on Tindersticks, the self-titled debut the chamber pop outfit put out on This Way Up in 1993, by which point their early singles and live shows had already won the critics over. The songwriting credit is split six ways, democratically, between David Boulter, Mark Colwill, Neil Fraser, Dickon Hinchliffe, Al Macaulay and Stuart A. Staples.
Staples takes the vocal, with Neil Fraser on guitar, Mark Colwill on bass and Al Macaulay on drums, and the band produced and engineered it themselves with Ian Caple at their side. The album that houses it drew acclaim right across the music press, and Melody Maker went as far as crowning it album of the year.
