Antlerand

The year 2003 marked Antlerand's formation after Chris Larson, handling vocals, guitar, and programming, traveled from Portland, OR to Tempe, AZ to see his friend Zach Okun, who plays guitar, bass, vibraphone, and piano, resulting in an EP recorded under the name Invisible. Okun soon returned northward to the Northwest, at which point Invisible brought drummer Delaney Kelly into the group and adopted the name Antlerand. The band signed with Sound Records in 2005 and started work on Branches, its first full-length album, issued the next year.
