Mark Stewart - The Fateful Symmetry

The groundbreaking, enduringly influential artist Mark Stewart presents his eighth solo album ‘The Fateful Symmetry’, a vital
new masterwork completed shortly before his untimely passing in April 2023.
Across an illustrious career of pioneering music with The Pop Group, Mark Stewart & The Maffia and as a solo artist, Stewart
has produced a seminal body of work, galvanized by the DIY ideals of punk, radical politics, protest movements, theory,
philosophy, technology, art and poetry. With ‘The Fateful Symmetry’, Stewart’s abiding legacy as a ‘revered countercultural
musician’ (The Guardian) is sustained, with an album as fearless and visionary as his best work.
Testifying to his prolific, unrelenting ingenuity, and signifying one of his most intimate, empowering statements, ‘The Fateful
Symmetry’ is an astonishingly expressive and innovative record; a fierce and beautiful manifesto for a better world. The
inimitable, titanic Mark Stewart, never normalized, always extraordinary.
‘The Fateful Symmetry’ is out 11th July 2025 on Mute, Stewart’s long-standing label helmed by old friend and kindred spirit
Daniel Miller.

“Bristol would be a very different place artistically and politically if it not been for Mark’s influence on all of us” - Geoff
Barrow (Portishead)
