Simple Pleasure is the fourth studio album by Tindersticks.[6][7] It was released in 1999 on Island Records.[8] The album marked a major departure for the band, as it began to adapt more soul and jazz influences than on their previous recordings.

The album was a remarkable success in Greece, charting at #4 in the international artist chart. It peaked at #36 in the UK Albums chart.[9] The album was not released in the US.[10]

Critical reception

The Independent wrote that "if you don't mind the sound of someone crooning while drinking a glass of water, you'll find this record a gem: a long, dark night ... with soul."[11]
