There whole roster is impressive. I continue to go down the rabbit hole and keep uncovering more and more. I can't help but think that we'll see an embrace of this music within 2 years time.

Absolutely!
Also, I find it pretty bizarre that they're using a novelty 70s stoner rock band (Pentagram) as the main draw.

I know that a list of Dark Cabaret suggestions have been posted but has anyone felt and heard (of course) the influence of Circus/Carnival style elements that the Gothic Country/Americanna Noir/Dark Roots draws from?

The orchestration of the arrangements has that feel of a sideshow and music you may hear at the fairgrounds on a dark night in October with the leaves a fallin'. Tom Waits used this style in several of his albums, majorly in "The Black Rider" album.

You can hear influences in 16 Horsepower - Low Estate, Soda Gardocki - Waltzes, Trains, Wires and Wood, Jayke Orvis and the Broken Band and many of the folks on Farmageddon Records. So bummed I can't get out to see the 50 strong in Montana.

With the Dark Carnival influence in mind, below are some other albums I think are worth checking out:

The Hellblinki Sextet - A Pirate Broadcast
The Hellblinki Sextet - These Bubbles Come from Ants
The Scarring Party - Come Away From the Light
Beat Circus - Ringleaders Revolt
Beat Circus - Dreamland
Circus Contraption - Our Latest Catalogue
Vagabond Opera - The Zeitgeist Beckons

I know of many others if anyone agrees with the correlation and cares to see more.
