Chicago's
Anatomy of Habit is known for an uncompromising approach to their sound, their
album design, their performance. The
doom/metal/industrial/etc. crowd is a pretty intense scene to begin with, but
Anatomy of Habit makes good use of the gravitas to hyper-infuse every modality
of their music with good artistic judgment. The production of their latest EP was handled
by John McEntire (Tortoise) and Bob Weston (Shellac). The design of the physical album itself, a 12"
record with a die-cut sleeve, is a thing of beauty. And the songs themselves - all two of them on
the new EP - are miniature epics unto themselves, unfolding in long, gorgeous
strides that beg for the close listen. The
length of the songs likely scare off the average mp3 buzz blog, but those who
know Anatomy of Habit know they've stumbled onto something immense and
worthwhile.
