tracks by Annuals and two contributions from Sunfold. Such Fun & Sweet Sister (2008–2011) Annuals' second full-length album, Such Fun, was released on October 7, 2008, via Canvasback/Terpsikhore and was met with mostly positive reviews. A far more polished product than its predecessor, the album was co-produced by Grammy award-winning producer Jacquire King (Tom Waits, Modest Mouse, Dawes) and features an original Bob Ross painting as the cover art. On May 4, 2010, on the heels of their departure from Canvasback, Annuals released Sweet Sister on Banter Media. Written, recorded and produced entirely by Baker, the 5-song EP featured four original songs and one cover (Johnny Cash's "Flesh and Blood”), and showcased yet another evolution in the band's sound. Softer, more polished vocals and intricate, electronic Latin rhythms pushed the Annuals sound in yet another new direction. Time Stamp (2012–present) In January 2012, it was announced on the band's Facebook page that a forthcoming studio album, Born Raised, was nearing completion and would be released later that year. The album would be delayed, however, and by the time of its release, the title would be changed, due in part to the similarly titled album Born and Raised by John Mayer. On April 23, 2013, after sitting in "near completed form for almost 18 months," Annuals self-released their long-awaited follow up to Such Fun, Time Stamp. A digital-only release, the album was initially released via Bandcamp and is now available for purchase on iTunes, Amazon, and various other music downloading sites. Accompanying the release was the following note from the band: This is Time Stamp. Whether it's a swan song, a comeback, or something else... Even we aren't sure. This is the first Annuals full length in nearly five years with just five songs in between, and even those songs from Sweet Sister (which were supposed to be a quick "hold-you-over") have gathered some dust. There have been good, bad, hard, and harder times since our departure from Canvasback and Columbia records in 2010. It seems we've all individually landed on our feet but for better or worse in different, separate places. The majority of Time Stamp has sat in a near-completed form for almost 18 months, the final stretch towards completion would cost the band essentially all of the money it had left to its name. It's here now, with some measured degree of hope, that people will care enough
