This is possibly the most brilliant thing I have seen. Period.
They go by the name of Abney Park, and I highly recommend giving them a thorough listen. Some tracks sound similar, but the overall theme is captures so beautifully I wouldn’t care if it were three songs on repeat. The production levels are quite high and judging by their stage shows I would say that their financial backing stands as a testament to their ability to perform satisfactorily. On a whimsical rush of steam powered dopamine I realised I must have their discography. This is what life is all about, truly. Also I should not be allowed a credit card.
Furthermore, anyone who fails to see how amazingly awesome the concept steampunk airship pirates are is obviously made of a condensed isotope of fail that scientists have never seen before. So condensed in fact, it may just be a type of Failure Degeneracy Matter.

Seems like the obvious extension of acts like the Dresden Dolls; a certain amount of cabaret is never a bad thing (:
