BRIEF BIO
A hop, skip, and a too-much-talked-about
14.4 kbps correspondence led to Analogue's long distance
love affair/runaround with Sonic Bubblegum Records. The
"Average Luck Charm" single was released in
1995 featuring a Carolinian take on the Louisville sound
and a subdued reverence for Ian Curtis and the boys.
Quickly, a fourth member, Jennifer Greer, was added to
the existing trio of Matthew J. Westlake, David Cantwell,
and Christopher Karlof to expound on the sound. The
letter "D" became the note, and the band
stacked the deck and upped the ante, creating the album
"AAD" /"AAA" (cd/lp) in 1996. Soon
thereafter, the Analogue family again grew in number as a
fifth able body was invited to help carry the workload.
Analogue journeyed to Brooklyn in the winter of 1997 to
record "Rock Proper" at the Rare Book Room with
Nicolas Vernhes. Consisting of one instrumental and five
songs without vocals, this album was the band's best
attempt, at the time, to present a 'proper rock' album,
whatever that may be. Now, three years later, the record
will be released by Rubric Records and Op Pop Pop in 2000
- a year that's perhaps better suited to embrace the
album's majesty than its pre-millenium predecessors were.
In 1999, brandishing the moniker Analogue II, the
remade/remodeled ensemble settled in at all three points
of the Research Triangle in North Carolina to continue
their work in the p(rog/ost)-rock-ROCK aesthetic.
Traversing the path of Ronnie Van Zandt, Duane Allman,
and the other Southern Rock heroes of lore, Analogue II
continues to fight the good fight, flying the flag of
portentous composition.
Band members:
Jennifer Greer (synths'n'bells),
Matthew J. Westlake (strings'n'treatments),
Heath Grant (drums'n'silence),
and David Heller (strings'n'remainder).
