Escape the Clouds is a steampunk band that tells stories through gritty, energetic music and lyrics. It has often been compared to Abney Park, Clockwork Dolls, and Vernian Process. The project consists of multi-instrumentalist Mark Rossmore, with occasional guest vocalists such as Eli August and Unwoman. As essentially a solo artist, Rossmore writes and produces all of the music himself, designs all of the artwork, and manages the project's official web site: EscapeTheClouds.com.
