The Machine in the Garden is a gothic/darkwave duo featuring Roger Frace; and Summer Bowman. The band's first release was the 1994 Veils and Shadows EP. A solo endeavor by Roger Frace, the debut EP blended elements of goth and industrial. The band's sound further evolved with the addition of musician Summer Bowman on their first full length recording in 1997, Underworld. The band honed their sound to produce the ethereal One Winter's Night. in 1999 and continued working in the studio to create their next release, a full-length enhanced CD, Out of the Mists in 2000. The duo invoked soaring guitars, tribal rhythms and electronic sweeps to create 2002's Asphodel. Their most recent album, Shadow Puppets, released in 2005, is an amalgam of electronics, ethereal melodies and sensuous rhythms. Ever evolving and pushing the limits of the ethereal/darkwave genre, the Machine in the Garden explores all aspects of electronic music while composing songs that endure.
