Chicagoist update on Anatomy of Habit

Thanks to Jon Graef at Chicagoist for continuing to keep his eyes and ears on us!

From: Chicagoist's Best Local Bands To Watch In 2013

An amalgam of expert provocateurs and workman from decades of Chicago underground rock and metal music, Anatomy of Habit’s music simply defies categorization. But we tried to describe it recently, saying “this is a group that knows how to hold listener attention … lulling [listeners] into gothic ambiance one minute, and then snapping them out of it with whiplash-inducing fury on loan from metal and hardcore the next…” The band just released a compendium CD of the group’s previously released EP and LP. They’ve just finished up recording album number two, which saw Tortoise’s John McEntire playing the drums. Peruse their Bandcamp to hear for yourself, but give yourself plenty of time. Average song length is about 10 minutes. - Jon Graef

Really kind words about Anatomy of Habit from Jon Graef at The Chicagoist:

One of Chicago's most singular, distinctive bands is post-everything act Anatomy of Habit, who concoct a delectable sonic witches' brew comprised of doom metal, shoegazer, goth, industrial, ambient, and hardcore. Last year's self-titled debut -- two tracks, 34 minutes -- caused a great deal of excitement for its serpentine, terrifying mood pieces. They'll be back with a new 12-inch EP, titled After The Water/Then Window, which, according to the Bloodlust newsletter sent out last week, has been sent to the pressing plant. (Bloodlust is the label of Habit/Bloodyminded mainman Mark Solotroff). Any word of a release date, and we pass it on to you. Anatomy of Habit play with Chord and Jon Mueller at The Hideout on Saturday, May 12. Pencil this show in, because it will no doubt be a memorable show.
