"The Sepiachord Companion is exactly what you didn't know your life was missing: a soundtrack for dreams of running away and joining the circus, for dreams of clever schemes, and of madcap capers. It's perfect for swaggering and sneaking through the dusty corners of a world where sharp-eyed con artists beckon you to join them, and the haunting notes of toy pianos and strange strings echo enticingly from shadow-hidden doorways." - Jillian Venters, Gothic Charm School

"The Sepiachord Companion, assembled by Sepiachord alum Jordan Block and distributed by Devil’s Ruin Records, includes a who’s who lineup of steampunk and alternative Americana bands. The music runs the gamut from quirky tongue-in-cheek tunes (thanks to well-loved underground artists like Voltaire and HUMANWINE), to dark cabaret (Jill Tracy and Harlequin Jones) and deep orchestral assembled pieces like those from Josh Pfeiffer of Vernian Process.
As a compilation, The Sepiachord Companion has plenty for every taste, and it works exceptionally well as an introduction to the steampunk genre of music. The tunes are catchy and fresh, and the inclusion of steampunk favorites Abney Park and Walter Sickert & the Army of Broken Toys make this collection a must have for airship pirates and gearhearts everywhere." -Tome Wilson of Dieselpunks: Dieselpunk + Steampunk Culture
