Analog

Saint Cassius Debut EP

Analog

ANALOG is a compilation of songs I’d been working on while I was writing & producing other artists. It’s the “break from my day job” folder of music I compiled at the time. I titled it ANALOG b/c of how we created the music. We recorded nearly every record on an SSL 64e/g console, vintage MPC’s & live instruments. I even bought a trumpet to play the post on “Now Hiring”. I hadn’t picked up a trumpet for 13 years before that. That’s just the aurora of comfort and creativity we were in. Almost all of the songs were in concert with Darnell Clay, my friend and co producer. ANALOG has his distinct fingerprints on it. Dj Toomp lent his genius to the project on “Not for Nothin’” and the original release included a variation of “We Make It Look”, “NoBS” & “OWN Up” all produced by Toomp as well. Ro James graced the project singing the hook of “Hey Beautiful Girl” a record I had previously written for Wale in 2013 and Omari Hardiwick contributed spoken word to Analog Dreams.
