  • Summary: The second album for the Chicago-based band is its first on the Anticon label.
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 6 out of 11
  2. Negative: 0 out of 11
  1. This is a marching band that's veered way out of formation, and is making utterly original music.
  2. Earnest and joyful throughout, they don't make records like this anymore, so be glad Anathallo didn't listen and made one anyway.
  3. Canopy Glow can pass you by on first listen, but persevere and memorable moments do emerge.

    Fantastic album. A few listens only scratches the surface of the music that Anthallo have created and this might dissuade impatient listeners. However, for those with the time on their hands will find a very deep, touching music created by these amazing musicians. Best album I have heard in a longtime. Expand

    Anathallo continued to produce great music with its newest album "Canopy Glow". Songs such as John J. Audobahn and Northern Lights are arguably some of the best tracks they have ever written. This album shared my "Album of the Year" honors with Good Old War. Expand

    If Sufjan Stevens ever made a bad album, it'd sound like this.
