Æther Shanties is the 10th album by steampunk band Abney Park.[1] It is subtitled Further Trials and Tribulations of Abney Park. It is also their second steampunk themed album.
Recording
According to an interview with Robert the album was 95% done recording when a heatwave hit Seattle, destroying their hard-drive. This event allowed them to add the vocals of their new singer, Jody Ellen, onto the album,[2] but delayed the release of the album for several months.
