Ensemble Sacrés Garçons is a post-industrial band split between Milan and Chicago, and composed of Paolo L. Bandera, Andrea Chiaravalli, and Mark Solotroff. The three members are connected to numerous groups including Sigillum S, Sshe Retina Stimulants, The Sodality, Iugula-Thor, BLOODYMINDED, Anatomy of Habit, The Fortieth Day, The Mercury Impulse, etc.

The third chapter in the ESG recorded history, "SANCTIFICATION: SEEING THE SINGULARITY", is released on September 27, 2024, on LP, CD and DL, with the two physical editions packaged in completely different artwork, the vinyl edition being limited to 100 copies and including a 12”x12” double-sided insert.
