Sounds Like Faeriepunk
"Faerie music is the wind... and their movement is the play of shadow cast by moonlight, or starlight, or no light at all. Faerie lives like a ghost beside us, but only the city remembers. But then the city never forgets anything." -- Charles de Lint, "Ghosts of Wind and Shadow"
Faeriepunk as a musical genre is incredibly difficult to pin down; and I really would insist it's more of a feeling or 'flavour' than an actual genre. Here is a playlist that covers some of my favourite tracks that have that ethereal edge or storytelling quality and make you want to grow wings and are...well, faeriepunkish.
