Antlerand formed in 2003 when
Chris Larson (vocals, guitar, programming) flew from Portland, OR to Tempe, AZ to visit friend
Zach Okun (guitar, bass, vibraphone, piano) and recorded an EP under the name
Invisible. Soon after,
Okun moved back up to the Northwest,
Invisible added drummer
Delaney Kelly and changed their name to
Antlerand. In 2005 the band signed to Sound Records and began recording their first full-length album,
Branches, which was released the following year. ~ Marisa Brown, All
