The Analog Affair
The Analog Affair

Influenced by the likes of Stars, Straylight Run, Ben Gibbard, Brand New, City & Colour and Styrofoam, The Analog Affair self-describes itself as "underground indie electro-dramatic pop." They aren't too far off the mark.

The Analogue Affair is the combined musical product of Evan Baker and Cody Moser, two creative individuals who met in Laramie, Wyoming. Later, even when Evan left for China, and Cody left for Tennessee, they continued to collaborate and the Analog Affair continues to develop.

Listening to the music, one's ear is quickly aware of the heavy textures and layers that comprise each song. The process they utilize is vaguely akin to the Postal Service, another influence of theirs; Evan and Cody working together, but not together, weaving lyrics over instrumentals, to create songs that carry a sense of loneliness or lost love, or the wilted night sky after the party; hanging over everything like a scent. Though each piece contains a sort of velvety weight to it, describing the music as 'sad' would be inappropriate. There are breaks of lightness that shine through. In "Piece of Mind," Evan's lyrics reflect off Cody's harpsichord-esque loop like dusty sunlight: It's no wonder the oceans moved and I feel the rain/ and it feels like doom/ but it's lovely just the same/ these revelations in front of me/ but I didn't see the signs/ and I'm feeling you/ You're my only piece of mind.

These songs are thoughtfully created and definitely worth a listen while coming down from a good night. The Analog Affair is a band worth keeping an eye on.
