History

The American Analog Set httpsa2imagesmyspacecdncomimages032b79a40

Formed in 1995, the group's early sound was highly influenced by krautrock and post-rock and British shoegazer bands like Cocteau Twins, often featuring long instrumental passages. Over time, their songs became shorter and more pop-influenced. The band has released six full-length albums, four EPs, and several vinyl singles.

Founding member Roschmann left the band in late 1999; Hoff and Ripple joined in early 2000 and McCaffery replaced Hoff in 2003.

In October 2005, rumors began spreading across the Internet that the group was on the verge of disbanding. The band quickly refuted such rumors, but added that they may not tour again due to their obligations with other projects.

Their latest album, 2005's Set Free, was released in North America by Canadian record label Arts & Crafts.

'Gone to Earth' from Know by Heart was a part of the soundtrack of the 2009 romantic film The Time Traveler's Wife.
