Grand Analog – Take It Slow (Spaces and Places) video
INFO:
Grand Analog is a raw collective of seasoned record collectors, musicians and self described beat junkies. Leader Odario Williams describes the Grand Analog sound as a beautiful mess of rap’n'roll, dub and soul. The band’s critically acclaimed new album, “Metropolis Is Burning”, boasts an infectious array of soundscapes that is unbalanced and dirty; never clean. It’s fuzzy with three coats of dust and reads like an old manual no longer in use. Each character in this collective brings something unique to the table. Odario and DJ Ofield blame their father, a reggae DJ from the 80s, for cursing them with the love of music, bass and trouble. DJ Catalist was also born into a musical family, inheriting a vintage collection of analog keyboards. Warren Bray is the punk funk master of bass. Other album contributors include Cadence Weapon, Shad and saxophonist Martin Perna (TV On The Radio/Antibalas). The album was recently #1 on CBC Radio 3 and the Canadian College Radio Hip Hop charts. First single, Her Daddy (Don’t Like Me), was featured in an episode of 90210 on October 27th. “Grand Analog continues to sweeten its hip-hop cocktail by spiking the punch with everything they can get their hands on: blazing rock guitars, dubby reggae,
wah-wah funk, Bo Diddley beats and even a smoking kazoo solo.”
