I can’t tell if Fanfarlo is trying to be deep and send a message or if they just thought that this was just a good idea for a music video. I figure that if they were trying to be concerned that there would be a suicide hotline number at the end of the video so [...]
Fanfarlo – Letterman Appearance, Contest & New EP
Fanfarlo made their network televisions debut last night on Letterman performing the track “Harold T. Wilkins, Or How To Wait For A Very Long Time” off their debut album Reservoir. They pull off a great job, I’m just not so sure about that keyboard line that starts about halfway through the song. I had to [...]
Top Ten LPs of 2009
by Fred. Damn! what a year. We lost Michael Jackson and we gained Girls. The Decemberists put out an LP almost as good as Picaresque, but what with the stiff competition you won’t find it on top 50 lists anywhere. Similarly, considering the new relative logic of the last twelve months, Muse and Mars Volta [...]
Top Ten Albums of 2009
10. Loney Dear – Dear John Dear John was the first album I heard this year that made it onto this potential list. It also opened a great year for Sweden and all the amazing acts that are calling it home. Emil Svanangen turns a bit more to his darker and depressed side on this [...]
Fanfarlo & Freelance Whales at The Loft 12/03
This week has brought the first signs of winter here in Dallas. We actually had snow on Wednesday morning. That’s right snow in Dallas! Needless to say that venturing out for anything other than the necessities has gotten harder and harder to do. But I received some free tickets to the Fanfarlo/Freelance Whales show at [...]
Fanfarlo’s Advent Calendar
One distinct Christmas memory that I have from when I was a child was the yearly advent calendar that my grandparents would send to the kids in my family. Each day opening another window to correspond with the date to find a small piece of chocolate waiting. You could always tell when you got a [...]
Fanfarlo Covers Neutral Milk Hotel
Fanfarlo is one of my favorite finds for the year but mix that with them playing live Neutral Milk Hotel’s “In the Aeroplane Over the Sea” and you have a recipe for a fantastic cover. Fanfarlo – “In the Aeroplane Over the Sea” (Neutral Milk Hotel cover)
[Video] Fanfarlo – “The Walls Are Coming Down”
Back in June Fanfarlo was offering their newest LP, Reservoir, for $1, otherwise I probably wouldn’t have made the purchase but who can resist a $1 LP? Since then this album has grown to be one of my favorite of the year with the track “The Walls Are Coming Down” being one of the highlights [...]
Fanfarlo’s Reservoir $1 until July 4th
I love indie bands. There’s nothing like them. I have downloaded more free tracks legally over the past 6 months then I have illegally over the past couple of years just from bands offering up tracks, EPs and sometimes full album for free or for dirt cheap. Fanfarlo was one of my first featured bands [...]
Find of The Week Vol.1 No.3
Time for this week’s installment of your’s and my favorite tMiM segment, Find of The Week. We stay in the UK again this week with the London based, Swede led band Fanfarlo who released their debut album, Reservoir, on Valentines Day. Named for the Charles Baudelaire novel published in 1847, Fanfarlo sounds a little like [...]
