It is to music what "steampunk" is to literature and cinema: something that looks back to the past to comment on the present while looking sideways at the future. A cubist aural experience.

As goth & glam are the bastards of David Bowie, Sepiachord is the made from the genetic material sown by Tom Waits. Sepiachord is assembled like a clockwork orchestra, from such elements of music Sinister Circus, Cabaret Macabre, Chamber Pop, Organic Goth, Celtic/Gypsy Punk, Mutant Americana, Ghost Town Country It is the music our grandparents or great-grandparents would have listened to, if they were as off-set as we are. After much demand, the crew at Sepiachord has created a companion guide to introduce the genre that doesn't exist.


The Sepiachord Companion, assembled by Sepiachord alum Jordan Block and distributed by Devil’s Ruin Records, includes a who’s who lineup of steampunk and alternative Americana bands. The music runs the gamut from quirky tongue-in-cheek tunes (thanks to well-loved underground artists like Voltaire and HUMANWINE), to dark cabaret (Jill Tracy and Harlequin Jones) and deep orchestral assembled pieces like those from Josh Pfeiffer of Vernian Process. As a compilation, The Sepiachord Companion has plenty for every taste, and it works exceptionally well as an introduction to the steampunk genre of music. The tunes are catchy and fresh, and the inclusion of steampunk favorites Abney Park and Walter Sickert & the Army of Broken Toys make this collection a must have for airship pirates and gearhearts everywhere. -Tome Wilson

A review from Gothic Charm School:
The Sepiachord Companion is exactly what you didn't know your life was missing: a soundtrack for dreams of running away and joining the circus, for dreams of clever schemes, and of madcap capers. It's perfect for swaggering and sneaking through the dusty corners of a world where sharp-eyed con artists beckon you to join them, and the haunting notes of toy pianos and strange strings echo enticingly from shadow-hidden doorways. - Jillian Venters
