Known for their literary smarts and bookish charm, Fanfarlo, the UK five-piece, create a heart-wrenchingly beautiful world on their debut album, Reservoir. Produced by Peter Katis (The National, Interpol), Reservoir employs an array of instruments to create each lushly arranged track, including saws, clarinets, cellos, mandolins, ukuleles, and melodicas. Named for French poet Charles Baudelaire’s fictional dancer, the group takes us on a journey filled with misfits, savants, and dreamers, where each sentiment is accentuated by the keening of a saw or the crying of a cello.

Fanfarlo performed at Amoeba Hollywood on February 18, 2010. Watch Fanfarlo video.
