They are presently recording their 3rd album between tour dates in the US.
Editor's review- CNET.com
This Alabama-based quartet gives U2 a run for its money in the 'epic soundscapes' category. Analog Missionary has a pristine, multilayered sound that's anchored by the sultry vocals of Anstrom, a female vocalist of remarkable range and clarity.
Analog Missionary has developed a vast, multi-layered sound that sweeps from grandiose movements of intense power to calmer moments of emotive introspection. Their sound has been characterized as sultry, acoustically complex, sonically textured, and eclectic.
The band's strength is their ability to beautifully balance the fragile with the ferocious...
Anstrom's voice has been described as a layer of voices, a vocal multiplicity that lifts and swoons, excites and calms. Vocal variations that are both hauntingly beautiful and deliciously exciting, drawn from voices she finds everywhere.
