Anatomy of Habit Paired Sentinels Record Release
@ Twelve Ten Gallery
1104 West Thorndale Ave, Chicago IL 60660
Opening Saturday, July 18th, from 6PM - 9PM
Twelve Ten Gallery is pleased to host a record release event celebrating Paired Sentinels, the fifth full-length album by Anatomy of Habit, on Saturday, July 18, 2026, from 6:00–9:00 PM. Written and recorded by Alex Latus, Isidro Reyes, Skyler Rowe, Mark Solotroff, and Sam Wagster, Paired Sentinels issues from the band’s longest-standing lineup. Throughout the album, in both formal expression and lyrical content, recurring images of complexity/compression, cause/conditions, possibility/inscription, desire/identity, appear as paired conditions that delimit experience while never exhausting it. Coupled with the group’s agonistic treatment of rhythm and noise, the album demonstrates the tension between the object of the represented and representation, and the forms through which this excessive lack is expressed and negotiated.
The evening will begin with a conversation between Anatomy of Habit vocalist, lyricist, and co-founder Mark Solotroff and Twelve Ten Gallery Director Joshua Johnson, reflecting on the band’s nearly two-decade history and the approach. The discussion will consider the conceptual and creative processes, influences, and collaborations that have shaped the group’s practice.
Following the conversation, attendees will be invited to a listening session featuring selections from Paired Sentinels and the band’s catalog, offering an opportunity to engage with Anatomy of Habit’s music through sustained listening. A public Q&A and informal reception will follow.
