Wreck The Tape Deck

Fanfarlo, the London based indie/ folk pop sextet’s debut album, Resevoir,  sounds a lot like David Byrne meets Arcade Fire. Produced by Peter Katis (The National, Interpol) and lead by Sweedish singer/ songwritter Simon Balthazar, Resevoir is chock full of well-crafted yet simple songs which make heavy use of trumpets, violins, guitars, drums, xylophones, saws (yes, saws) and banjos (yes, banjos). The entire album can be downloaded on iTunes currently for only $5.99 ( a wise investment), and you can also check them out live tonight at the Troubadour.  Even David Bowie claimed Fanfarlo one of his favorite new bands back in March (you realize I just name dropped David Bowie, which is why I’m able to keep this post short and sweet, like a chocolate covered midget).

The song below for “I’m A Pilot” speaks for itself.

More of their videos can be watched here on their website
