The Something Rain is the ninth studio album by British band Tindersticks, released in February 2012 on their own Lucky Dog Recordings label in the UK, on City Slang Records in Europe, and on Constellation Records in North America. In 2012 it was awarded a double silver certification from the Independent Music Companies Association

Tindersticks' latest piece of work is informed by such a sense of loss it’s almost overbearing. Commissioned in 2011 by the In Flanders Fields World War One museum in Ypres, to write music for its (then) forthcoming permanent exhibition commemorating the centenary of the first World War, Stuart Staples and Dan McKinna went about creating a series of soundscapes that wordlessly evoke the numbing sensation of grief.
