For those fans of Sufjan Stevens floating around and looking for something interesting to listen to, I give you Canopy Glow by Anathallo. Mind you, I’m telling that if you like Sufjan, there’s a solid chance that you’ll like Anathallo. I’m not telling you that Anathallo is the second coming of Sujan. There will be no second coming, so let’s just get that thought out of our heads.

Anathallo has the same acoustic sophistication of Sufjan, but it is more jangley with fewer natural sounds. I’d also throw in that time signatures and rhythmic dissonance that have a dominant role in albums like Illinoise are not present in Canopy Glow. But there is this nice feel that definitely evokes thoughts of Sufjan Stevens.

I guess I’m saying that Anathallo ain’t Sufjan, but it’s still darn nice and provides a taste of sophisticated pop that I really enjoy. Have fun with this one.
