The Grand Analog Project is fronted by Odario G. Williams. Members include Darcy Ataman, Damon Mitchell, Ofield K. Williams, DJ Catalist and Arun Chaturvedi.
Backed by a rotating band of players tied together behind his new Grand Analog nameplate, Williams takes the lid off his long simmering hip-hop stew and tosses in every stylistic ingredient that has ever crossed his palate, from deep dub grooves and stoic electronic soundscapes to fuzzy, classic rock guitar riffs and sparse blues licks. Using the ever-present boom-bap as his guide, the ’Peg City representative bounces vibrantly over the tight, guitar-rooted rhythm of “Touch Your Toes,” sliding through the old-time reggae vibe of cuts like “Around This Town” and “Weekend Love” before dicing up a classic ’80s old school break on “Social Butterfly.” What’s most impressive is that nothing here seems unnatural or forced; it’s a unified collection of familiar musical elements we’ve all been blessed with at some point.
