Title: ...
Review: I bought this on a whim. The name Anathallo has been around for a while, but my lazy, uneducated impression was that they were some dumb Sigur Ros knock-off or something like that. But the packaging of "Floating World" was so esquisite when I saw it at the local indie record store I picked it up anyway.And they proved me just about utterly wrong. While I won't deny that there are some Sigur Ros elements, there are many more times where artists like The Animal Collective or Sufjan Stevens are more apt comparrisons. Yet unlike other indie groups who are nothing more than paint-by-numbers wanna-bes, Anathallo bolsters their sound by writing exceptional songs. They impress you by what they do... not how they sound.Undoubtedly if this CD finds an audience, Anathallo could be topping many year-end lists.
Is the review positive or negative?
