Bristol launch event for the release of the new Mark Stewart album: The Fateful Symmetry

We are extremely honoured to announce Mark’s new solo album ‘The Fateful Symmetry’, a vital masterwork completed early 2023, released via Mute Records on 11 July 2025.

Testifying to his prolific, unrelenting ingenuity, and signifying one of his most intimate, empowering statements, ‘The Fateful Symmetry’ is a “a love letter to life”: a fierce and beautiful manifesto for a better world.

In conjunction with the release of Mark’s album, two events (London & Bristol) have been announced.

Both events will exhibit Mark & Peter Harris Music & Art collaborative BombArt series, described by Stewart as “an embassy for the imagination”. The events will also feature unseen art pieces and archival material, as well as previously unseen photos by legendary Bristol photographer Andy Beezer Beese and more.

“When you look outside the prescribed consumer world, you’re suddenly floating in something you don’t understand. Everything you were taught is wrong. You realise the whole political system is an illusion, it’s a scam. It’s this whole sort of Matrix thing. And suddenly you feel like one of those space walkers, floating in this black universe. But then, you find some rainbow dust.”
