Lazarus and the Plane Crash
Horseplay
by Simon Price
****
Lazarus and the Plane Crash is a project fronted by Joe Coles of defunct berserkers The Guillotines and Stephen Coates, aka The Real Tuesday Weld aka The Clerkenwell Kid. Horseplay, whose oversized packaging folds out into a Ouija board, is a peripatetic, eclectic magpie’s nest of styles, with Coles alternating between a badass Beef-heartian blues rasp and a more courtly Cole Porter diction, while Coates provides an alluring cut-and-past backing of vintage found sounds.

Lazarus and the Plane Crash
Horseplay
by Andy Gill
****
In their determination to go out on any limb, regardless of taste or safety, Lazarus and the Plane Crash – a collaboration between Guillotines singer Joe Coles and Stephen Coates, grey eminence behind The Real Tuesday Weld – display the kind of risk-taking absent from The Maccabees’ album. Coates stitches together jazz samples, wailing bluesharp, wheezing squeezebox and scarified guitar, while Coles leaps in with off the cuff vocals that test the boundaries of propriety, delivered in a snarling croak akin to Tom Waits. It’s the id-monster having a party, coming on outrageously to anything that walks, with no mind for civility and a healthy regard for mortatlity; “This fleshy cage, it’s all the rage/You dance around for a bit, then they chuck you in an earthy pit.”

Deranged gypsy pop meets Tom Waits on this oddball dark delight
Seemingly influenced evenly by Waits, black magic and The Cramps, this appealing curio features Joe Coles of The Guillotines working with The Clerkenwell Kid, producer of the kaleidoscopic The Real Tuesday Weld. It’s a suitably weird stew, mixing brothel creepers like “Two Frankfurters” with gypsy pop like “Mating Dance” and gleeful psychobilly brawlers like “Nasty And Naked” with Waitsian bawlers like “Violent Men”. The fact it is packaged in a simulacra of an Ouija board and references mythical London monster Spring-Heeled Jack only adds to the sense of bewildering charm.
