I recently played through SteamWorld Heist and it's a darn fine game I highly recommend, but I left it with a rare for us musical recommendation. I thank the game for introducing me to “Steam Powered Giraffe”. These guys are great and I get the vibe that if you're into what I write, you'll probably like their works too. They post most of their songs on Youtube, so go check it out!
The SteamWorld Heist soundtrack is more twangy and a lot of fun:

Heist Ho!, Prepare For Boarding, What We Need Are Some Heroes, The Vast Frontier, and The Stars were all written for Heist, I believe, and are great every one of them.
The music video for The Stars is just so goofy and lovable:

And check out Star Scrap to see just how crazy on point Rabbit's mime game is:

The whole band is just stupid adorable!
And they have lore! So much lore! The Vice Quadrant is a space rock opera!

Fire Fire is the best song about astronauts burning to death that I have ever heard and I went out and bought it and have just been playing it on repeat for too long.
For lighter fare, the music video for GG's song is pretty much a requirement:

Seriously, they have lore and it's so good!
