MK III
MK III is the third studio album by steampunk folk rock band Steam Powered Giraffe, released on December 3, 2013.[1]
It is the first album with former drummer Sam Luke (now known as Hatchworth) as bassist and lead vocalist, replacing The Jon who left the previous year, the last album with guitarist Michael Philip Reed, and the only album with drummer Matt Smith. The album features a series of songs sung to a young child, and ends with the robots blasting out into space- thus setting the stage for the next album, "Vice Quadrant."
