Comments: "Originally inspired by a dream of British 1930s crooner Al Bowlly and American actress Tuesday Weld, Stephen Coates began to create music to try to recreate the sounds he heard in his childhood home - 'the crackling of radios playing swing and easy listening in some distant room.' Through a host of gorgeous EPs, albums, and singles, Coates has developed the sound known as 'Antique Beat'. During the same recording time frame as his latest opus, The London Book of the Dead, Stephen Coates, aka the “Real Tuesday Weld,” created a special side project release entitled The End of the World. This conceptual companion piece is an imaginary concert, that Coates describes as “a valedictory 'performance' recorded on the eve of Valentine's Day at the mysterious / mythical 'End of the World' club in London." -Spectre

Very beautiful and decidedly unique-- perhaps reminiscent of Jens Lekman. I like "Over the Hillsides" and "What it Takes" the best.
