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) at his home studio in Bridgeport, Connecticut, 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 – consisting of Simon Balthazar (lead vocals, guitar, clarinet), Cathy Lucas (violin, mandolin, keyboard, vocals), Justin Finch (bass), Amos Memon (drums) and Leon Beckenham (trumpet, keyboard) – 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.
Upon the initial release of the album and their appearance at 2009's SXSW, the blogosphere was instantly set ablaze. Fans were also quickly won over at tastemaker radio stations such as NPR, whose Bob Boilen has named Reservoir his #1 of the year thus far and hailed, "My adoration for this band grows with every repeat. The melodies are full of emotion and the way the songs hang together is delicate and powerful."
