Hi. I'm happy to announce that the new Ensemble Sacrés Garçons album was released on Friday. The Mercury Impulse is working on new songs and JR have been busy working on an idea for our first live show. We hope to be able to announce it soon. Anatomy of Habit is busy with album prep and we should be able to announce a final 2024 show, soon. If you're interested in buying releases from across my discography - meaning from different bands, etc. - it's always easiest to go to my webstore, rather than using multiple Bandcamp pages, to save on popstage. Thanks for reading! Mark Anatomy of HabitFormed in Chicago in 2008, ANATOMY OF HABIT has been described as a hybrid of doom metal, post-punk, death-rock, early-industrial, psychedelic, and shoegaze. Although they’ve experienced significant membership changes since forming, today’s band, which includes Alex Latus (guitar), Isidro Reyes (metal percussion), Skyler Rowe (drums), Mark Solotroff (vocals), and Sam Wagster (bass + lap steel), represents their longest-standing and most prolific lineup. The band credits their treasured chemistry to their intertwining histories as friends and collaborators. Rowe and Latus have made music together since they were teenagers, growing up in Indianapolis’ heavy music scene, while playing in the band Still. Rowe and Wagster create sweeping, pastoral instrumental music together in Mute Duo. Reyes and Solotroff are old friends who’ve played together for many years and they continue to record and perform in both BLOODYMINDED and The Fortieth Day. This deep connective tissue contributes to what the band describes as consistently effortless writing sessions and innately unified live performances."Paired Sentinels" LP/CD/Cassette/Download The pressing process has begun...

The third chapter in the ESG recorded history, "SANCTIFICATION: SEEING THE SINGULARITY", is available on LP, CD and DL, with the two physical editions packaged in completely different artwork, the vinyl edition being limited to 100 copies and including a 12”x12” double-sided insert.
This album takes an even more severe approach to sonic existentialism than its predecessors, emphasizing a cut-throat metaphorical fury through the combination of crystal-clear vocals, cryptic text references, and overwhelming electronic arrangements.
Departing from the bottomless pit of their previous album, “DEMONIZATION: THESE WORLDLY POWERS”, the new ESG album deals with revelation symbols and divinity paradoxes, heavily relying on the images of snakes to invoke a contradictory form of audio-redemption, where a distortion ordeal creates a punishing background through which only the deadliest sins are forgiven, while a new kind of singular lucidity slowly emerges… LP Version CD Version All pre-orders have been shipped
