Fanfarlo


I’ve been enjoying this album a lot the past few weeks. I know people want to make the Arcade Fire comparisons here, but I think that’s basically what people do when they listen to the first track of an album and think of the first band that pops into their head… which, there are some similarities (especially on the opening track), but there’s a lot more to this album than simply being a mid-meal appetizer while Arcade Fire fans await their next release. Even if there is something slightly familiar here this honestly is also very much it’s own work (and not just pulling from other people like so many artists are obviously doing right now… if that makes any sense?). Anywho, there are some really great melodies on here. There is also some very pretty texture added by horns and sweeping vocals throughout. This is really good stuff and I’m really digging it right now. If you haven’t done so yet, check it out… give it a taste… see whatcha think...
