Adam Baker, a singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist from the United States, was born and raised in Apex, North Carolina, began playing drums at age ten and formed the pop-punk band Timothy’s Weekend in 2000. In 2003 he launched Annuals in Raleigh, North Carolina. The band’s debut LP, Be He Me, released on Ace Fu in 2006, catapulted them into the indie spotlight; the single “Brother” earned a spot on Pitchfork’s “Infinite Mixtape” and the album sold over 19,000 copies by 2013. Subsequent releases included Frelen Mas (2007), Such Fun (2008) co-produced by Jacquire King, Sweet Sister (2010), and the self-released digital album Time Stamp (2013). After moving to Los Angeles in 2013, Baker started working on a fourth full-length album with a new lineup of musicians.
