Each character in Grand Analog 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. Catalist on keyboards was also born into a musical family inheriting a few dusty analog keys for the lab (Arp Odyssey, Mini Korg K2, Sequential Circuits Six Trak, Roland Jupitor 6 among others). Warren Bray has a punk funk history and is now appointed GA's doctor of bass. Damon Mitchell brings his guitar savvy into the recording process. Other contributing musicians include Klaverkamp, and Darcy Ataman.
Grand Analog's retro heart and restless feet create an extensive touring schedule. The live show adds soul to the bloodline along with infrequent stage jams and off the wall tactics. Both Calligraffiti and the live performance itself are critically acclaimed. Over the last two years Grand Analog have already left their mark in prestigious showcases and festivals such as NXNE, SXSW, JunoFest, CMW, NMW plus various Jazz and Folk Festivals nationwide. Grand Analog fiends on tackling any stage presented to them, any place any time...no matter the genre. Metropolis Is Burning!

Grand Analog Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Unless you Freak out
I bring the Passion back in one Freestyle
This ain't an accident just a bring Shout
Of Another movement
Whole nother Lifestyle
This ain't the Future
The lyrics to Grand Analog's song "Electric City" speak to the power of bringing passion and energy to a situation. The opening line, "No need to freak out unless you freak out," is a reminder that we have control over our reactions to situations. If we remain calm and composed, we can better navigate challenges and find solutions. However, if we allow ourselves to "freak out," we risk losing control and making the situation worse.
The next line, "I bring the passion back in one freestyle," suggests that the singer has the ability to bring energy and enthusiasm to a situation through their words and actions. This can inspire others and create a sense of momentum that can help to drive progress. The following line, "This ain't an accident just a bring shout of another movement, whole 'nother lifestyle," suggests that the singer is part of a larger movement or community that is seeking to create positive change. This is not just a one-off event or moment, but a larger shift towards a new way of living or thinking.
