The Profile

Anathallo was an American indie chamber-pop band formed in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan, noted for multi-instrumental arrangements and orchestral touches; notable albums include Floating World and Canopy Glow.

Reviews note a seven-member lineup (expanding live), Matt Joynt as lead vocalist, strong use of brass and woodwinds (trumpets, clarinets), hand claps and choruses; Floating World is presented as a concept album (suite "Hanasakajijii" in four parts). Reviewers compare their sound to Sufjan Stevens, Mùm and Architecture In Helsinki.
