Annuals is a six-piece indie-pop outfit from Raleigh and Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The band was started by Adam Baker in 2003 as a side project of the still active sister band Sunfold, formerly known as Sedona and headed up by lead guitarist Kenny Florence).

Ace Fu Records signed Annuals in the fall of 2005. Ace Fu released their debut LP "Be He Me" on October 17, 2006. The members of Annuals are also all deeply involved in their own music-business venture,Terpsikhore Records, which is owned by benefactor J.K. Horne. Terpsikhore released Annuals' first demo, titled "Lay Down Dry", in the summer of 2005, as well as the "Git' Got EP" in the summer of 2006.

Annuals appeared as the #25 entry in Pitchfork Media's "Infinite Mixtape" series with their song "Brother", and have also made appearances on Spin.com, AOLMusicIndie.com, Stereogum, I Guess I'm Floating, the Underrated, Brooklyn Vegan, and EarFarm (among others) - earning them a newfound reputation for being a "blog band." They are frequently compared to the Arcade Fire, Animal Collective, and Broken Social Scene [http://iguessimfloating.blogspot.com/2006/08/annuals.html] and are known for their intense live shows.

They made their national television debut on "Late Night with Conan O'Brien". They played "Carry Around".

The January 24, 2007 episode of "Veronica Mars" ("Show Me the Monkey") used a large portion of the song "Fair".

Annuals' sophomore album, "Such Fun", was released on October 7, 2008 [http://www.nme.com/news/nme/38429] .
