I'm going to start doing reviews on movies, music, and books; what better band to start with than Anathallo? This band is unbelievable! The only problem is any comparison I can give for Anathallo would be short-handing them. I just recently picked up my first Anathallo album "Floating World". Every song is, no joke, a masterpiece. There is a huge array of insturments, vocals, and music theory. Through what sounds, at times, like complete chaos, there remains a sense of beauty and simplicity. I would compare different aspects of this band to others such as Sufjan Stevens, Annuals and during their darker, heavier side to Mewithoutyou and Manchester Orchestra (whom I love). But at the same time, none of those comparisons really do the band justice.
This is such a terrible review, I'm really off to a great start. I saw a review on itunes when I purchased the album that made me want to get it immediately. I'll leave you with these last words, and then, don't ask any questions just download the cd.
"If Sufjan Stevens was seven different people, each with an I.Q. of 500,000... he'd be Anathallo"
