Annuals : Such Fun

Two CD set. Raleigh, NC-based six-piece Annuals release their sophomore album, Such Fun in 2008. Co-produced by Annuals frontman Adam Baker and producer Jacquire King (Modest Mouse, Tom Waits), who produced the band's Wet Zoo EP. Recorded throughout NC, Such Fun is so varied and exciting, it certainly belies the years of its young creator and his musical cohorts. Annuals have had an incredible ride since their acclaimed debut album, Be He Me, came out only two years ago. Released when the band members -Adam Baker songwriter, vocals, Kenny Florence-lead guitar/backing vocals, Mike Robinson on bass/backing vocals, Anna Spence on keyboard, piano, backing vocals plus Zack Oden-drums/guitar and Donzel Radford -drums/percussion were all around the age of 19, the album spread like a wildfire around the globe.
