I know not enough people have listened to The Mechanisms for the Camelot trio to win but guys, guys. You’re missing out.
For those that don’t know, High Noon Over Camelot is an album by the Mechanisms. It’s a mix of song and narration that is basically a musical, about the story of King Arthur retold as a gay space western on a dying planet. (Again for the people skimming this: GAY. SPACE. WESTERN.) Arthur, Guinevere, and Lancelot are poly, Mordred is transmasc, Galahad is a crazy fucking priest, i mean COME ON. Also the Mechanisms are actually immortal space pirates and one of them ends up being Merlin. It’s a tragedy (because it’s a mechanisms album), but it’s also their best one imo. Also the music SLAPS. Seriously, it is so, so good. And the story itself and the EMOTION in the singing and……. god. No words.
Anyway go listen to the Mechanisms. They also have an album about Ulysses, a short take on Frankenstein that’s SO GOOD, and one about fairytales called Once Upon A Time In Space, and my personal second fave, The Bifrost Express. All of which are incredibly queer and fun and sad. If you, internet person, also love stories that are fun and gay and sad and narrated by a sexy immortal space pirate man, then go listen to them!! They’re on Youtube so they’re pretty easy to find. GO. VOTE FOR MY BLORBOS.
(And thank you to you, mx. poll organizer, for making the polls and having a good time with us. :D )
