Name: Anathallo
Genre: Indie
Day: Sunday

Wikipedia sez: “Anathallo is an indie band originally from Mt. Pleasant, Michigan and now based in Chicago, Illinois. Anathallo utilizes a wide variety of instruments, including horns, guitars, drums, piano, bells, and even unconventional objects like chains, velcro strips, stomp boxes, and pipes. The band has released several recordings through Selah Records, a vinyl release through Potential Getaway Driver, as well as completely independent releases.”

It’s pretty safe to say that before I began to write this article, I hadn’t heard of Anathallo. So I did my research and found a lot of people raving about what incredible music they make. But to me, it seemed like too much hype. I listen to their music and while it tries to sound spectacular, for some reason it just falls short. The music is a mis-mash of many instruments accompanied by somewhat forgettable lyrics. Best be your own judge, but it’s just standard over-hyped indie fare to me.

Likelyhood of Seeing at Coachella: Nah.
