Analog Missionary bio

Analog Missionary is an atmospheric/cinematic art-rock band from the Southern USA. Utilizing atypical instrumentation (such as theremin, Chapman Stick, Dumbek, and Banjitar) and world-music influences, they have released one full-length album, Transmitter, and a soundtrack for the 1920's silent film classic Nosferatu, entitled Voyage of the Demeter.

The band 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 balance the fragile with the ferocious... Anstrom's singing 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. Currently they are completing their 3rd album.
