Para ouvir em seu gramofone

Música não é exatamente a minha especialidade, tanto que costumo dizer que ela é a única forma de arte a te atacar pelas costas. Rabugices idiossincráticas à parte, essa é uma fonte de expressão importante da cultura steamer, tanto que há vários cantores e grupos que se identificam com a estética do neovitorianismo para inspirar suas criações. Coyote Gisa, em seu blog sediado na rede social Steambook, compilou uma lista bem fornida de representantes dessa tendência de misturar o vapor retrofuturista com acordes musicais.
