October 5th, 2026 New EP Announcement: Impermanence the Machine in the Garden is proud to announce the forthcoming release of ‘Impermanence,’ their tenth studio release and second EP in their catalog, coming October 30th. Six songs exploring impermanence, fate, loss, and the existential work of dealing with circumstances beyond one’s control, 'Impermanence' is tMitG's first major release in six years. Tighter in focus and stripped down to just the machine and voice, it's still as rich, engaging, and emotional as anything that's come before it. tMitG previewed 'Impermanence' with the single 'Space-Time' in May, to be followed by a second single and video for 'The Beginning of All Things' this Friday, October 9th. Consistent with the two singles, the cover art for ‘Impermanence’ features an image from NASA of the Lion Nebula, itself a fitting image for the title. NASA writes: “The nebula...has formed and continues to be sculpted by the remains of a dying star. The Lion Nebula is a snapshot in time.” “I wanted to get back to some basics with the music, focusing mainly on analog synth sounds,” explains Roger. “The retro-80s style has been the modern goth sound for 20 years or so, but I wanted to explore it on my own terms. Even with the synthetic sounds, I feel like we still created something organic and emotional, effectively combining what we do best in composition and production with those retro sounds and styles. I even pulled in some classic Roland and other samples I’ve had sitting on my drive since the mid-90s, which was fun.” Summer adds “While I hesitate to use the words ‘existential crisis’ there has been a large amount of personal hardship these past few years. I’ve overcome a lot of death and loss as well as faced my own mortality so there was a lot of processing to do. I wanted to explore themes around our place in the universe, why things unfold the way they do, and the fleeting nature of our existence. It may sound bleak, but I hope listeners hear hope on the other side of great tragedy.” ‘Impermanence’ will be released on October 30th, 2026, available as a digital download from tMitG’s Bandcamp shop and as on-demand physical media, including CD and (for the first time ever) vinyl, from tMitG’s ElasticStage shop. ‘Impermanence’ will also be available on release day to stream from Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and other streaming services. More information on 'Impermanence' and “The Beginning on All Things” can be found at www.tmitg.com.

We are also accepting pre-orders for the physical CD and various combos including a CD with a t-shirt and/or a handwritten lyrics sheet.Thirteen new songs explore the variety of styles—from goth rock to electronic ethereal—the band is known for.Musically, Places in Between draws from the band's own unique musical past. Roger describes the sound as "the electronics and looping structure of Shadow Puppets, the darkness of Asphodel, and epic elements of Before and After the Storm. I wasn't trying to emulate anyone or anything else; I just constructed what felt natural. It's different and should feel new yet familiar to our fans."Like previous works, the themes explored by the lyrics are wide-ranging and include references from mythology of world cultures (like in "A Thousand Years of War" and "Prophetic Bird"), themes from popular culture ("Courage, Power, and Wisdom") as well as references to current events and challenges we face in the world ("Broken Days" and "Resist"). No matter the topic, Bowman's lyrics and vocal delivery are full of emotion and depth and her voice shines through clear and full in every track.For the audio nerds: 24-bit files were uploaded exclusively to Bandcamp, so for the best quality choose a lossless file format for download.Watch the Places in Between teaser video
