Ultra-prolific music duo Eric Anders and Mark O’Bitz have released a fiery new 4-song EP “This Mortal Farce.” recorded during the same sessions as their “American Bardo” album.
Eric Anders and Mark O’Bitz have crafted a sombre, uninhibited signature sound that resonates well with the heavy social, political and literary themes in the lyrics.
Eric Anders details their process for the new EP: “We went into the studio to record American Bardo with sixteen songs expecting some of them not to proceed past the recording stage. All of them proceeded past the recording stage and so we put all the songs with lyrics directly related to Lincoln in the Bardo on American Bardo (12 songs) and the remaining four were put on this EP, This Mortal Farce.
The title comes from the name others gave to Dante’s afterlife poems, “The Divine Comedy,” which I’m sure influenced Saunders’ novel.”
