Nina and Elegwen donned their goggles and went about the task of creating good music to suit a blossoming subculture for which they are both a fan of. As much as they love the aesthetic of sepia-toned gears and top hats immersed in steam, they both felt that the musics within the genre didn't really reflect that aesthetic, and then went on to form Corset.
Both Nina and Elegwen also have solo projects that you would definitely be interested in if you like their music, so do yourself a favour and check them out. Nina's solo work is known as Der Osnec, and she is heavily involved with Everson Poe, and Model M. Elegwen takes Celtic music to a new level with his project Damanta.
