Fanfarlo - Reservoir

I happened upon this band a week or so ago and I can't seem to get them out of my head. Fanfarlo has an album coming out, but you can get it, plus 4 bonus songs, for the bargain basement price of $1.00. You can only get it for this price until July 4, so get on it. The band states, "Hello. Because we want everyone to hear our album, and in the spirit of “why not”, we are now letting you download it, along with 4 exclusive bonus tracks, for a mere one dollar until July 4th (or, if you like, Independence Day.) After that, the madness will end and you will be able to get the CD, the vinyl and a beautiful new special edition at normal prices." Their sound has a dash of Arcade Fire, a sprinkle of Beirut, and a hint of Pale Young Gentlemen. If you like bass, trumpet, keyboards, violin, mandolin, drums, electric guitar, and an accordion - then this is the band for you. Sometimes, on your first listen of an album, you skip over songs that you just don't feel. I actually found myself listening to Reservoir in its entirety! The three songs that stood out the most to me were I'm a Pilot, Fire Escape, and Luna.

Take a Listen!
