to see that this might be a last ditch effort. We know we have friends and fans across the USA and beyond, we've met you and we've shared many joyful evenings together over the years. We skipped the crowd funding and went straight to getting out a final product. We hope you care about the project, can put something back into it, and to share it with your friends and loved ones. Thank you for all of the love and support you've afforded us all these years. This is for y'all. Move to Los Angeles and new album In September 2013, following what the band announced was their "last show for the foreseeable future", Adam Baker relocated to Los Angeles, where he began work on the band's fourth full-length release. New band members Tim Casey (drums), Britt Rand (keys), Jordan Robins (guitar), Eric Notarnicola (bass) came on board to form the new lineup. Music style and influences Since their incarnation, Annuals have drawn comparisons to countless artists and combinations of genres from just about any publication that has attempted to categorize their sound. Rolling Stone once described Annuals as “the Tar Heel State’s version of the Arcade Fire”, and Pitchfork deemed them a “fantasy hybrid of Animal Collective, Arcade Fire and Broken Social Scene". While NME has suggested that the band's members may have been “cloned in a Petri-dish from the LSD-twisted DNA of Wayne Coyne”, Soundcheck magazine posited the term “neo-baroque pop” as a general description for the band's aesthetic. In a 2009 interview with LAist, Baker cited Mike Patton (Faith No More, Mr. Bungle), Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys, Hank Williams Sr., Johnny Cash, Radiohead, Bjork, and Secret Chiefs 3 among his major influences. He credits his mother for his “beach” music influences and his father for his Motown and country influences. Television and licensing Annuals made their national television debut on Late Night with Conan O'Brien performing the song "Carry Around", and came back in October 2008 for a second show, playing "Confessor", the opening track from their album, Such Fun. Their song "Fair" appeared on the January 24, 2007 episode of Veronica Mars ("Show Me the Monkey").
