Anathallo: derived from a Greek word meaning refresh, renew or bloom. A unique band originally transpiring from Mount Pleasant, Michigan and currently based in Chicago, Illinois. This group has an indescribable sound, one that absolutely cannot be categorized—they are a genre of their own. This ensemble came together and started playing in 2000. Today, they have a fine collection of 9 CDs and EPs—the two most impressive and recent CDs being Floating World (2006) and Canopy Glow (2008).
Anathallo’s performances—whether in front of small or large audiences—are not something you would expect to see on a daily basis. In a smaller room with less people, the band’s performance seems more direct and intimate. It is an opportunity to get involved in the music and really enjoy the heartrending and inspirational vibes they tend to give off. The larger performances are equally moving with the additional ambience of the crowd, yet with a less intimate experience.
Although opinions may vary, Anathallo is one of my favorite bands, suitable for so many different situations. Most individuals are not fond of their work at first glance, but after really listening and taking in the mixed types of music they include, they are truly hard to dislike. After listening rather than hearing the musical wonders of Anathallo, you will have no regrets.
