I put this together for myself, to b e a wallpaper for my phone. Its an image from the back of our upcoming album, "Iconoclast".
I thought maybe some of you would like it as well.
In case you are wondering what this image has to do with anything, here are the opening lines sung on the album:

all rusty and lean,

This was actually presented as a gift, as its privious owner wanted to make sure it ended up in a place were it will be loved and respected.
It could not have found a more respectful home then this.

We want to say thank you to you Patrons, so we were thinking about throwing you a party at our house.

2019-07-03 15:32:06 +0000 UTC View PostOne of the trickiest parts of this Patreon is finding ways to reward you suficently for all you do for us.
Most of you already have all our music, so giving you old songs doesn’t always do anything for you.
So I’ve come up with an idea: each month I’m going to cover some amazing song from the past, and give it exclusivity to you Patrons. And I’ll even...

Hey guys, after our last Seattle concert, the band was hanging out on the boat, and we decided shoot some footage for a music video for Two Little Words. So we beached landed the boat, left a shore, and goofed off in front of the camera long enough to make a video.
The end result was a bit too happy, and beachy, and not steampunk or edgy, so we really were not sure if a big public r...

This introspection is for a new song I wrote last winter, and how my kids, crawling through the attic above the studio, effected my writing this day.
Below our links to download the audio of the introspection, as well as just the song it self, for you to listen where ever/whenever you want.
Tracy Atkins (a Patron here) suggested I create a documentary for Abney Park fans, so I thought I’d reach out to you and see if you are interested.
I’m always eager to find new things to do for you Patrons, that keeps you feeling as appreciated as you are. It’s tough for me to find good things to give you, as you typically have the music already.
So le...

Proclivity of Lies is the fourth song on Abney Park's album Scallywag.
Lyrically, the song is about how much humans seem to prefer nasty rumors to truth. Its a sad condition; the entertainment value of a scintillating lie seem to trump anyones need to find proof of the rumor.
Some one, be it the press, government, or less then loyal friend, will make up a lie. They annou...

For the 2017 album Crash, I experimented with some more modern sounding songs, to see if there was any cross over potential. But then I never got around to making any music videos! So I'm fixing that now.

About 4 days ago I got the idea of covering some old-times songs like "Come Take a Trip In My Airship" and "Take Me Up In Your Airship Willie", but covering them in a modern style. If all goes well, I'll release an EP of these songs in the next month or two.

"How Rosie Met Max" is a short story set in the Abney Park's Airship Pirates Chronicles universe. This story has never been released before now, and was created for patrons of Abney Park. In fact, it was a dream I had early this morning, and I've spent the last 7 hours making this for you.

And, it's really hurting the family, financially. We've lost nearly a third of our income from Patreon, and it's hurting.

This song from Abney Park's latest album, Scallywag, is about how corporations sell to us using fear as a tactic. Fear your health, fear the environment, fear your money, fear tap water - whether rational or not, they use fear to sell their products. And since advisers are the only funding for news sources, the news is filled with nothing but fear.
