“Fanfarlo has been on our radar since their 2006 single "Talking Backwards." Now internationally touring on the tail of their long-anticipated full-length, Reservoir, it's refreshing to observe that the UK band has not compromised the sound that makes it unique. Simon Balthazar's vocals still possess that washy, salty alto on new songs like "Luna," and the orchestral backings are as strong as ever on "I'm a Pilot."”
Phil Kropoth, Flavorpill
For a band who come from all over, Fanfarlo have an amazing sense of place. Not a specific place, but a place oppressive in its solitude, with a strong sensation that life is elsewhere. And yet still a small flame burns, a tiny flickering symbol of hope, ready to spring into full conflagration in some bright, as-yet-imaginary, future.
