Anathallo was a band originally from Mt. Pleasant, Michigan and then based in Chicago, Illinois. The band started practicing in the fall of 2000 and played their first show soon afterward. Their name is derived from a Greek word meaning "to renew, refresh or bloom again."

Anathallo released Floating World, their first nationally distributed record, in 2006. The band released a follow-up, entitled Canopy Glow, on Anticon in 2008.

History

Anathallo was formed in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan, in 2000. The band, led by singer/guitarist Matt Joynt, often consisted of seven or eight members who relentlessly self-promoted, releasing four independent EPs and booking themselves for a reported eighteen national tours.

That year the band released Floating World, a concept album based on a Japanese story called Hana-Saka-Jiji, and relocated to Chicago, Illinois after an offer to be the house band at a city church called Berry United Methodist. The album spawned several songs that were used in television commercials, including "Yuki! Yuki! Yuki!" in a Vick's ad, and "Dokkoise House (With Face Covered)" in an American Express commercial. The income from these licenses allowed the band a less stressful experience pursuing their follow-up album.

In 2008, Canopy Glow was released to critical acclaim. The group, now consisting of a somewhat different line-up, rehearsed the songs from the album in the church they were residents at before recording, a process that they took their time with. The band embarked upon two national tours as the headliners before going on hiatus.

On April 12, 2010, after a long silence from the band, member Bret Wallin addressed the inactivity on his personal blog:

Many of you know me from a past life. One which included month-long van rides, small rooms in the back filled with bottled water, playing Tetris with a trailer and seven people's musical equipment, a dry hoodie over a sweat-filled shirt by the end of each night. So let's put it on the record. It's not as though we put a stake through Anathallo's vampire heart. It's more that we wandered the band back to rest, to let it sleep through the day. And whatever or whoever wakes up in its place, we'll see.
