October 14 [14:00 EDT] -- The British outfit Tindersticks have long heard their sweeping sound described as "cinematic," but now that adjective is particularly appropriate.

The band did the score for a new French film called "Nanette Et Boni," which recently opened in New York City.

While the band's trademark sound might have seemed like a natural for film, fans may be surprised at how Tindersticks sound in the movie.

"For that film, we stripped everything down and became very minimal," Tindersticks violinist Dickson Hinchliff told MTV News. "People always look at the big kind of songs like 'Traveling Light' as these sort of epic soundtrack kinds of things. [900k QuickTime] You know, for us, some of the more kind of intimate moments, more minimal, are possibly more suited to film."

"Nenette Et Boni" opens in L.A. and San Francisco on October 24, one day after Tindersticks launch a two-week U.S. tour at the Black Cat in Washington, D.C.
