Canopy Glow's opening salvo, "Noni's Field," introduces straight away the topic of death. Among lush pile-ups of Pet Sounds harmony and Sung Tongs texture, Anathallo's Matt Joynt and Erica Froman sing to the rafters: "We saw the sky, swarming full with the light that the fireflies made / An accidental constellation / You, how will you go? / Out through your mouth in a sigh? / Into a space we don't know." It's a surprisingly beautiful rendering of life's most feared result: calm and considered, yet wide-eyed in approach, and colored by kaleidoscopic detail. Canopy Glow, Anathallo's second full-length (and first for Anticon), could be described just the same.
