I’ve discovered Unwoman thanks to Aaron Sikes, who mentioned her on Twitter.

It’s true that dieselpunk is a visual genre above all. Most of it is created by comics, illustrations and films. One of the reasons why Unwoman caught my attention is her video’s visuals. I like the atmosphere she creates, that undoubtedly reto feeling, that fantastical texture. Some of her videos are so sophisticated. I like Intertwined a lot too.

But of course, I like her music too, especially when the voice of the cello is most obvious, because that gives such an unusual, haunting sound to her songs. It add to much to the retro feeling.

What do you think? Did you already know her?
