FREE ALBUM: "Songs Of Joy"

Coming from a gothic background, I often worry that too many of my songs are dark in theme. That if our most devoted fans listened to only Abney Park music, as many have told me they do, that I could negatively impact their emotions and pychesw, if I allowed my self to only write darker material.

So I make a concerted effort to also write songs that are happy, optimistic, or push the listener towards happiness. If I'm not at leas trying to make fans happy, why do I do what I do?

Exclusive: Robert shares a song that is only minutes old.

I've had it in my head for years that I wanted to write a song about when me and Kristina fell in love.

The first part of our relationship was all going night-clubbing in the earlier 90's. So I wrote this song about it, and wrote it to sound like an earlier 90's song.

Eventually I plan to have a big sexy sax solo in this, as I FIRMLY believe sax solos are coming back. But since I wrote this today, and our sax player Pete isn't here, you guys get to hear me solo on bouzouki, thro...

NEW MUSIC PREMIER: Abney Park, "Deep In Space"

"Deep In Space" is the first track to be released from Abney Park' s new album, The Intergalactic Juke Joint, coming fall 2022. 

 Lyrics:  

We came across a planet,
Way deep in outer space,
Only half the surface habitable,
So suffered half the Race.  

They easily could share,
The land where life was good,  
But instead they waged massive wars,
Until no city finally stood.   

They fought and burned the forests, 2022-07-02 21:22:23 +0000 UTC View Post

FREE ALBUM: "Abney Park's Forgotten Or Lost"

This months free album is Abney Park's Forgotten or Lost. This was a compilation of great Abney Park songs, that over the years fell between the cracks. 

Can I get your opinion on Album Names?

Okay, there are two album names I'm considering for this years studio album. Ones serious and cool, and the other is more campy and imaginative. Can you tell me which of these two excites you more?    

First, the Serious:   "Anemoia"

This word means, "Nostalgia for a time you've never know."  Pretty perfect for a steampunk band, actually, ...

HAHAH! What do you think of this?

So, my kids are obsessed with the animated show Arcane. It's actually a really great show, but on top of that, it's probably the most popular steampunk TV series to come out in years!

Well, just to annoy them, I thought I'd do a concert poster in the Arcane style of illustration. I think it look hysterical (especially the dreamy/hunky looking me in the lower left!)

What do you think?

Oh, and don't forget to get tickets for the show. Ticket sales close this Saturday.

ABNEY PARK MUSIC VIDEO PREMIRE: RUSSIANS

"Russians" was originally a Cold War era song, written by Sting.  I think many of us have had this song echoing in our heads these last few weeks. I couldn't get it out of my head, so I decided to record it.

Hey Everybody, thanks for coming to the concert last night!

I want to thank everybody who came to the virtual concert last night. It means the world to us.

I've been reading your comments...SO many compliments!  Many said they thought this was best looking  concert yet, so I thought it'd be fun to let you know exactly why: Money, time, and skill!

Money

I took a bunch of money from the last shows, and put it towards things like new (and more expensive) cameras. This has made a HUGE, and permanent difference ...
