The Cog is Dead, an ideal steampunk band

On recent Internet explorations, i happened to stumble upon something really beautiful. in fact so beautiful its the only thing Ive listened to since.
The cog is dead is a four piece band that's uses many instruments. whilst they don't sound industrial, theoretically, their experimentation with steam inspired "noise" could fit the description, with many clunking, smoky and tick like noises in amongst their rhythmic tunes.Amongst their four members, they do vocals, piano, guitars, bass, drums, kazoo, banjo and accordion (probably more)
the only negative of this project is that its well and truly over with one CD, and no sign of return. which is a shame really, personally i would have loved to listen to the many albums they have not written. anyway, even though they don't write anymore, I'm still enjoying what they did give us, you can listen for yourself below:
