Limited edition Vinyl (300 only). After two decades on the fringe, cult London troubadours The Real Tuesday Weld are calling time with a series of swan song releases. The first: 'BLOOD" gathers their collaborators for a farewell set of 'ten songs for noir films'. Haunted waltzes, piano interludes and cinematic electronica provide the backdrop for an ensemble of barflies, torch singers and femme fatales to perform songs that channel influences including Serge Gainsbourg, Tom Waits, Julie London, Barry Adamson and Polly Harvey. Film references are to the fore, recalling the band's soundtracks for blockbuster game LA Noire and soundtrack to surrealist classic Dreams That Money Can Buy - along with perennial inspirations Angel Heart, Twin Peaks and Down by Law. Written over recent years between various film scores and collaborations, the songs beguile with stories of romantic revenge, heartbreak, anima dreams and urban psychodramas - with a nod (via a deranged cover version of Poker Face) to the band's circus swing past BLOOD is the first of the final Swan Song trilogy BONE, DREAMS, BLOOD. Stephen Coates formed The Real Tuesday Weld in 2001 pioneering a style he dubbed 'Antique Beat', a combination of old jazz sounds and electronics that was to influence the emerging electro-swing scene. Reluctant scene-joiners themselves, the band run their own label, working with writers, animators, film makers and on a variety of commissioned arts projects. They tour worldwide - often playing to animated backgrounds in venues including churches, museums, parks, galleries, buses and crypts - but they have remained cult and critical rather than commercial favourites despite multi-million youtube plays, film placements and multiple awards.
