"The Real Tuesday Weld is a British band, fronted by lead singer and founder Stephen Coates. They are known for producing jazzy cabaret-style music with subtle electronica influences, a style dubbed "antique beat" by Coates. The band is named after American film actress Tuesday Weld. Coates once had a dream involving Weld and 30s vocalist Al Bowlly. Coates and others often cite the dream as inspiration for the band and its particular style. - Wikipedia

The videos are as sophisticated as the music - check it out.

Bonus - Off the new album, The London Book of the Dead, due out soon

Here is some more info on the band from the BBC:

Stephen Coates is a man after your grandmother’s heart. “Thirties music doesn’t sound old-fashioned to me,” he says. “It blows a lot of contemporary stuff away.” The past is present in the music he makes as (The Real) Tuesday Weld, thanks to his grandfather who was in a dance band and played the young Coates jazz.

“The song structures soaked in, so when I started to make music and mixed them with other things I like - Serge Gainsbourg and electronica - I created ‘antique beat’.” Its unique sound wooed the granny of a member of staff at his record company, Pias, as well as DJs like Norman Cook, whom Coates hadn’t heard of before. He says he knows more about Al Bowlly, “Britain’s first pop star”, than he does about dance music. But you wouldn’t know it.

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
