OK, stop the presses. You gotta listen to Annuals! As the 'fork described them, they are a blend of Animal Collective, Broken Social Scene, and Arcade Fire. Think about the things you like best about those bands and mash them together in a mixing bowl. Serve hot and you've got Annuals! I am very excited for this album when it drops in mid-October...unfortunately it doesn't seem like they have any plans to come out west, but we'll see if that changes once the album drops. Give "Brother" a listen and I think you'll agree. (It's a build song...)
Annuals - Brother
