I found Anathallo on last.fm. Initially I was drawn in to their music because of their instrumentation, but I almost overlooked the band. I first heard "The River." I wrote the song name down, but I didn't come back to it until much later.
Anathallo is in an interesting band, not just because of their consistent instrumental role switching, nor their bizarrely metered songs. It is also because of how far the band has actually come.
Listening to the band's older work, you'll hear what could be considered borderline progressive metal... Or some sort of heavy ska punk.
Now however, the band has completely transmutated into some particular hybrid of indie-rock.
With Anathallo you'll hear plenty of brass, guitar, drums, piano and vocals. Many members of the band may sing, shout, or scream at various parts in any song, and it adds a nice character to each piece, especially since it is done so tastefully.
Italo stands out to me for some reason. I really like the melodies, and the feel of the meter throughout the song. Enjoy!
This blog is about my personal exploration through music, in hopes that I can assist you down your own musical path. I contains post about new bands worth spending your non-refundable time listening to, notable musical experiences I have had, and anything else I feel may pertain to the general audience members that piddle around my blog.
