The Real Tuesday Weld is releasing a record, The London Book of the Dead, on August 28th via Six Degree Records. And who is The Real Tuesday Weld? Stephen Coates.

The label says, "Amongst the whimsy and humor [of the album] are lyrical concerns drifting between such weighty topics as death, religious faith, honesty, drugs, and disease."

"The album's emotional center is actually located at the end of the program: "Bringing the Body Back Home," despite its generally gloomy tone, it's a sweet and ultimately encouraging waltz that arrives at a philosophical conclusion: "Love is the one thing worth living for."

Reading the labels' depiction of just that one track is all I need to want to hear the real thing. Dark humor aside you really can sit down on a black sofa with this one and have yourself a little rock therapy session. It's inventive and despite methods from times past it can definitely be considered "now" music.
