Grand Analog
Sat., Oct. 19 ~ Phog Lounge
$10
After
closing out Phog Phest 3 in 2011, CBC Radio 3 guest host Odario Williams and Grand Analog finally return to Windsor with
Modern Thunder and the vintage analog gear that gives the collective their name. According to
grandanalog.com, their first full-length album since 2009's
Metropolis is Burning, "The music of
Modern Thunder dwells on everything classic. The album opener, '
Lion Head,' fuses early Afro-beat rhythms (with) hard-hitting hip-hop drums while the electro-hop sounds of 'Heart the Lonely Hunter' lends a Joni Mitchell type vocal to the chorus... 'Wild Animal Print' hints classic House... Musical guests on Modern Thunder include
Saukrates, Shad, Andrina Turenne (Chic Gamine), Amanda Balsys
(Wilderness Of Manitoba), Len Bowen, Maylee Todd, Saidah Baba Talibah,
Dennis Passley (Bedouin Soundclash), Bahia Watson, Mike Olsen (Hidden
Cameras), Peter Katz, TALWST and long time collaborators Damon Mitchell
and Oliver Johnson."
