Stephen Coate’s project, The Real Tuesday Weld, has yielded an interesting combination of old timey jazz, electro nuance, and touching lyrics. The video directed by Elliot Kew for the track Cloud Cuckooland casts a silly yet sinister feeling over a song that wouldn’t seem out of place at a speak easy. It’s probably the creepiest music video I’ve seen in a long while.

Real Tuesday Weld is old timey, and creepy.

Razzamatazz the Dead
The London based band and brainchild of Stephen Coates, “The Real Tuesday Weld” are set to release a new album entitled “The London Book of the Dead”. It’s a smooth jazzy electro jam session that has the crossover appeal of the Postal Service featuring Miles Davis. Melodies are sparkling, vocals are whispered, and the beat is charming. I’d say the overall sound of the disc is like a slow dance in front of a window of a loft apartment on a rainy Thursday afternoon. Something completely ordinary turned into something spectacular and unforgettable.
