I have been checking out some of the Coachella artists that I am not very familiar with over the last several days. I cam across Mt Pleasant Michichan's 'Anthallo' last night. The definition of art-rock. Way too pretentious at times, but also interesting at times. Here is atrack for you

There’s an intense DIY vibe that surrounds Anathallo, a very important characteristic every indie band should have and project in their music. In the indie field, this band represents distinctiveness for their use of interesting variety of instruments. This variety enriches their melodies to the point of a full blown chaos of body to soul sensantion. They already have 6 years behind them and ov.

New Wax I've been anticipating Anticon's release of Anathallo's Canopy Glow for some time now, especially considering how good that leak of initial mixes dubbed Engine Glow sounded. The band's second full-length shows noticeable growth from Floating World , which was impressive in its own right despite its sometimes unfocused symphonic energy. With a more fleshed-out vibe nuanced by handc...

Listening to an album this beautifully and intricately crafted only makes me wonder what it takes to create something like that, and whether I'll ever come even close.I think it's an anxiety shared by all art students--a nagging self-doubt. We live in a culture that thrives on comparison, and artists are the worst. We look around at the very talented people all around us and tell ourselves th...

I've never been shy about my love for all things Anathallo , and I'm pleased to report the wonderful Chicago via Michigan band have found a home for their next LP Canopy Glow , and it's coming out sooner rather than later. Anticon (Why?, Dosh) was smart enough to ask the band to sign on the dotted line, and I think it's a nice pairing. The first track from Canopy Glow , a wonderful downbe...

You Should Know If Anathallo isn't worthy of some serious blog buzz, I don't know who is. Come on people, this band is freaking good, and I don't care what those elitists over at Pitchfork might have to say on the matter. Set to follow up 2006's wonderful Floating World with a new LP entitled Canopy Glow , the album will be released by Anticon in November (thanks to Yoni Wolf of WHY? fame...

It's been a while since songoftheday, and this one is more than deserving. Following their appearance at Coachella, the members of Chicago band, Anathallo, quit their day jobs and began recording their debut, Canopy Glow. And this was good. The first single and video, "Bells" is currently invading my earphones. It's simply a beautiful, ambient [...]

LinkAnticon’s symbol is an ant, designed by Aaron Horkey of Burlesque Design. Ant-icon. The name comes from the Pedestrian, a Los Angeles native, and Sole, who grew up in Portland, Maine. The two met in 1992 on a Prodigy message board for cassette trading. Both were avid tape collectors, the lingua franca for music dispersion [...]
