Anomaly in Effigy will be releasing a new album in the first half of 2024. The title will be “Influencing Machine.“ This name comes from a particular type of persecutory delusion that was originally identified in individuals with schizophrenia. In this delusion, individuals believe that some type of highly sophisticated machine being operated by a group of clandestine agents is responsible for some of their thoughts and sensations. A goal of this record is to explore the nature of delusions and paranoia and where they fit in an increasingly dystopian environment. The “influencing machine” concept also serves as a useful metaphor for any source of propaganda.
So far, 4 tracks have been completed (written and recorded) with 3 more in the works. After that, the tracks will be mastered, artwork will be finalized, and any associated media (album booklet etc.) will be finished.
