Fanfarlo: Reservoir
Every year brings a few surprisingly strong debuts by new artists. Last week we purchased Fanfarlo’s Reservoir for $1 (the offer ends on July 4), not expecting what we heard.
Fanfarlo – Harold T Wilkins, Or How To Wait For A Very Long Time
Whenever you receive an email saying that Jónsi of Sigur Rós is floored by a new artist, you need to at least check them out. Fanfarlo made such a strong impression on Sigur Rós that the album cover is a photo of Sigurrós (Jónsi’s sister) and her cousin Disa. Sigur Rós had this to say about this band from London:
“[Fanfarlo] made the record in Connecticut with a guy called Peter Katis and, as the more vigilant of you may have noticed, Jónsi liked it so much that he has started work on his own solo record with the same dude.”
