If you like Stereolab but wish their music had a little more structure than Anathallo's new release Canopy Glow is for you.Just as Stereolab features a large lineup of multi-instrumentalists Anathallo consists of musicians playing guitars, non-traditional percussion, flugelhorn, autoharp, trombone and much more.
The vocal combination of Matt Joynt and Erica Froman gives the music a nice indie taste. The instrumentation is creative but still structured enough to sing to. If your impression is similar to mine listening to Canopy Glow is equivalent to finding a diamond in the rough. With a week that included Nickelback and Wu Tang Clan, Anathallo is our saving grace.
