The Cog Is Dead - Steam Powered Stories (2010)

Pretty surprised by this one, I was kind of expecting a Dr. Steel knockoff but it's absolutely nothing like that. It's similar in many ways to Ween's underrated country album 12 Golden Country Greats but at times it's also like They Might Be Giants with a steampunk gimmick. Honestly though it's not even really a gimmick either, it's more of a motif. So yeah if you're looking for a comedic album with country, polka, folk, rock, and operatic elements, this is definitely one for you.

Amazing find, it's basically the album Nick Cave would write if he was a woman and did cabaret and jazz. There's some really wickedly dark lyrics on this album about death and jealousy, I mean there's a song called "Pulling Your Insides Out" but the melody totally distracts you from the lyrics so you just bob your head along enjoying it without really thinking about what's going on in the song.

This is a good album but I wasn't blown away. Maybe I should listen to it again.

Gorgeous folky album that sounds like a mash up of Pentangle, early Fairport Convention, Gorkys Zygotic Mynci & Kings Of Convenience.

Highly recommended.
